Are you up for a challenge today? Use various materials to build a car that moves with the wind. How will you create your vehicle?

For this activity you will need the following items:

• Wheels: We recommend Lego wheels, but you can make your own out of cardboard
• Various building materials
  • Lego
  • Cardboard
  • Paper
  • Cardboard tubes
  • Index cards
  • Tissue paper
  • Straws
  • Popsicle sticks
• Scissors
• Glue or tape
• WIND- from outside, a fan, your mouth
• Paper
• Pencil

Now here’s what you do:

1. Make a plan! Use a piece of paper and pencil to create a drawing of what you will build. 
   1. What materials will you use for a sail to make the car go?
   2. How will you make the wheels and base of the car?
   3. What other materials could you use?
2. Build it! Make your car based on the drawing you did. Some things may not work out the way you planned, but that’s ok. How can you fix it?
3. Test your car. Use a fan or a straw and blow on the sail. Did it move? 
4. Make your car better! How can you make your car go faster? What can you improve on?

Now- show us your car! We can’t wait to see what you built.
