Paper Sailboats are a wonderful way for students to easily experiment with different design components. In this challenge, students work with multiple variables including the size/shape of the boat and its sail and the payload it is able to carry.
Students will work in groups to design a paper sailboat with a flat bottom that will sail on the floor, no water required! Once students are finished designing, they will build the boat from the provided materials, test their designs and will record the distance their boats travel.
The Brown Bag STEM Challenge bundle pack includes 10 high-interest design challenges that use low-cost materials that (almost all) fit into a brown bag! Challenges comes complete with design briefs, STEM notebook pages and a PDF slide deck. In each challenge, students work in teams to design, build and test solutions, following NGSS Engineering Design Performance Expectations.
