e² Young Engineers helps Grade 6 students delve into engineering and science through engaging hands-on projects. They'll discover how forces influence object interactions and motion using gears and wheels. Additionally, they'll get to explore space technologies.
Forces:
pull back race car
Students will learn how internal forces (i.e.tension) and external forces (i.e. friction) have an impact on objects.
Students will develop an understanding of how kinetic and potential energy are related in the context of elasticity.
Impact of Technology:
electric mixer
Your students will gain an insight into technology and its role in enhancing productivity and creativity in the kitchen.
Students will learn how using gears and a motor, you can create a transmission system that results in increased speed and makes the task of mixing quicker an more efficient.
Space Technology:
space rover
Students will engage in hands-on construction of a Space Rover, gaining insight into the connection of technology and space exploration.
Students will gain an understanding of the design of Rovers, and the challenges of exploring other planets.
