Engineering Project: Sewing!

Sewing helps our students grow in a number of the Next Generation Science Standards. Here is one example. 3-5-ETS1-2. “Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.” Thank you, Mrs. Shedd, for providing this amazing STEM opportunity. We love it here!

Energy Experiment

I stacked the cups like a castle.  Then we stacked four, then three, then two, then one.  My prediction was that faster things have more energy.  The ball had more energy to knock more cups down when it went fast.  My conclusion was that my prediction was right.
