Challenge and Discover – June

Modified: · Published: by · This post may contain affiliate links · 5 Comments

Trisha and I were really pleased to see so many people linked up to our Kitchen Science Challenge last month. Thank you to everyone who joined in.

This month we have something that we hope will be even more fun. We would like you to make some kind of vehicle. It can be anything, but we’d like it to be able to move either with a simple push or by a more complex mechanism.

 

Vehicles made for a science challenge

For example, how about this tug boat, propelled by an elastic band?

Or, could you make something more impressive than our cotton reel car?

The Vehicle STEM Challenge

Make a vehicle which will move, either if pushed or by another mechanism.

Link up here or at Inspiration Laboratories and let us know how far your vehicle can travel on its own.


Challenge and Discover is in association with  Inspiration Laboratories
