Club semanal de pequeños ingenieros de Hot Wheels (5-9 años)

Please note: This is a reoccurring subscribed class designed for Learners ages 5-9. 

*To make the most of this class, please try to have at least two cars and some track (or something that can act like a track).  

The class structure will be: 
10 minutes instruction on a physics concept
20 minutes of building the ramp, testing out the concept
10 minutes to share discoveries

Can you create a ramp that makes your Hot Wheels car fly with speed? How far can you make your car travel without touching it? In this class, our little engineers will design ramps, track, jumps and sometimes crashes to test out our designs.   Topics include: aerodynamics, energy, force, gravity, friction. All topics will be presented in a developmentally appropriate way. Hot Wheels naturally engages children’s curiosity and teaches them science and math without them even realizing it! Our Hot Wheel Little Engineering Club introduces kids to STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math), promotes a Growth Mindset and develops critical thinking skills. With inquiry-based investigation, guidance and discussion,  students will build, test and revise their creations.
