About This Product

The Wind Powered Car is an engaging cross-curricular STEM project for grades 3-5 that spans several days. Students will read about alternative energy, design and construct a prototype of a wind-powered car, collect and analyze data, create line plot graphs, and write an informational "how-to" piece. This project integrates reading, writing, math, and science standards with hands-on learning. Detailed lesson plans are included covering key concepts like asking questions, measurement, data collection, and engineering design. Students will be actively engaged as they learn about wind power, build and test their car designs, record performance data, and document the process. This project can flexibly fit a 2-day mini-unit or extended for a full week. It's a dynamic way to launch the school year or celebrate Earth Day while embedding mathematical practices and inspiring a love of STEM.
