Zoom into Action: Transform Your Classroom into a Hub of STEM Excitement!
Unlock the next step in your student’s STEM SuperStars journey as they take on the Rubber Band Car challenge.
Choose from one of three times during the day that fits in with your school timetable for your students to follow along and make their very own rubber band cars! This is a dynamic, hands-on session where your students will collaborate to construct and test rubber band-powered cars.
Acting as automotive engineers, your students will learn about aerodynamics, friction and kinetic energy through this fun and engaging engineering challenge.
The CREST Awards are a nationally recognised scheme run by the British Science Association. Students will record each challenge they complete in their CREST SuperStar Award passport and once they have done eight, will receive a certificate and iron-on badge. Students must complete all 8 activities to receive their CREST SuperStar Award Certificate and iron-on badge!
