(Idea: kids will be given a set of materials (cardboard, thread spools, straws, a balloon) to design and build their own balloon powered car. We'll then measure the distance it travels, and try to improve the design. We can also add weights to the car and have kids predict the distance it will travel. Concepts: Engineering/design, forces/Newton's Laws. Supplies: cardboard, heavy paper, drinking straws, balloons, wood skewers, thread spools (or other cylindrical items that can roll), tape, scissors, rulers)
