🎈🚗 STEM in Action! 🚗🎈
Check out Mrs. Rigney’s brilliant 5th grade students putting their engineering hats on with a hands-on balloon car experiment! They are designing, testing, and redesigning — building cars powered by nothing but air.
🛠️ What’s happening here?
Students are exploring force, motion, and friction as they experiment with balloon propulsion
They’re learning the scientific method: hypothesizing, testing, refining
Collaboration is key — teamwork, problem-solving, and creative thinking in full swing
💬 “If the car veers off course, how can I adjust my design to make it go straighter?” — one student’s evolving question mid-experiment
This is what inquiry-based learning looks like in real classrooms: messy, curious, iterative, and full of “aha!” moments.
