As an introduction to the Engineering Design Process,
the second grade students have been challenged to engineer a vehicle that can
be powered by one puff of air. The challenge sounded easy at first, but as
these young engineers are quickly finding out, it isn’t!
Do you think
you could design a vehicle based on this set of criteria and constraints?
- The vehicle must move in a forward direction.
- You may only use 1 puff of air.
- You may not touch the vehicle during the test.
- Your vehicle must remain on the track.
- You may only use the following materials: 4 mints, 2 straws, 2 paper clips, 1 piece of paper, and clear tape.
