Creating a Rubber Band Car is an AMAZING way for students to practice collecting data and making observations to support energy transfer (kinetic to potential) while students exercise their STEM (STEAM) skills. Meet NGSS Standard: MS-PS3-5 Construct, use and present an argument to support the claim that when work is done on or by a system, the energy of the system changes as energy is transferred to or from the system. This EDITABLE DOCUMENT provides a template, material list, data collection sheet, claim/evidence/reasoning (CER) template and step-by-step instructions to create a Rubber Band Car. With a routine and inexpensive list of supplies your kids will be WHEELIE WHEELIE happy with their cars. The project includes instructional objectives, background information and guided instruction with a template that allows students to guide themselves through this amazing project. Allow students to develop a deeper understanding of energy transfer as they design this project. ***This project requires additional materials in addition to these customizable directions!!!
