Electric Bottle Car. Rocket-Propelled Toy Car. Step #1: PrevNext This is the stuff you will need to make the rocket propelled toy car.Hint: Use only a good quality soda straw.Hint: Use a good quality balloon.
Also, it is wise to limber up the balloon by blowing it up a few times before using it in this project. This will make it easier to blow up using the straw.The smallest Lego wheels work best.Any duct tape will work. I used red because it is more colorful. Step #2: The photo is self-explanatoryNotice the small size of the Lego wheels used here. Step #3: Insert the straw as far into the balloon as it will go.Make sure you make a nearly perfect seal with the duct tape so air doesn't leak out between the straw and balloon.

Summary Students practice the ability to produce clear, complete, accurate and detailed design drawings through an engineering design challenge.
Using only the specified materials, teams are challenged to draw a design for a wind-powered car. Then, they trade engineering drawings with another group and attempt to construct the model cars in order to determine how successfully the original design intentions were communicated through sketches, dimensions and instructions. Engineering Connection Engineering is about applying mathematical and scientific knowledge to design. Educational Standards Each TeachEngineering lesson or activity is correlated to one or more K-12 science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) educational standards. All 100,000+ K-12 STEM standards covered in TeachEngineering are collected, maintained and packaged by the Achievement Standard Network (ASN), a project of JES & Co. Rubber-Band-Powered-Car.pdf.

Runaway Train: Investigating Speed with Photo Gates. Summary Students conduct an experiment to determine the relationship between the speed of a wooden toy car at the bottom of an incline and the height at which it is released.
They observe how the photogate-based speedometer instrument "clocks" the average speed of an object (the train). They gather data and create graphs plotting the measured speed against start height. After the experiment, as an optional extension activity, students design brakes to moderate the speed of the cart at the bottom of the hill to within a specified speed range. Engineering Connection Motion of an object subject to the acceleration of gravity is a fundamental study in engineering mechanics. Educational Standards Each TeachEngineering lesson or activity is correlated to one or more K-12 science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) educational standards.

Summary Students learn how the aerodynamics and rolling resistance of a car affect its energy efficiency through designing and constructing model cars out of simple materials.
As the little cars are raced down a tilted track (powered by gravity) and propelled off a ramp, students come to understand the need to maximize the energy efficiency of their cars. Cars from the Future. Summary In some cities, especially large cities such as Los Angeles or Mexico City, visible air pollution is a major problem, both for human health and the environment.
A variety of sources contribute to air pollution, but personal vehicles account for one of the main sources. Though each car has relatively low emissions when compared to vehicles of the 1970s, there are so many more cars on the road now that their emissions play a large role in overall pollution. In this activity, students think about alternate ways to power a vehicle to reduce emissions. Student teams design an eco-friendly car using the engineering design process, and make a presentation to showcase their product.
Engineering Connection As we learn more about our surroundings and the impacts that human-made items have on our own health and the health of the environment, engineers are finding new ways to reduce pollution from everyday activities.
