Young Engineers: How to make a propeller powered car - Engineering project for kids

Check out for more projects like this Buy propellers: Buy wheels: Buy wood cubes: Glue gun: The Young Engineers series is a collection of STEM Projects that I developed while teaching K-6 students. Every project uses the same set of inexpensive materials so it’s cost effective for parents and educators to do multiple projects or teach large groups. Printable lesson plans and project picture sheets are available at Fast and fun, the propeller car is a hands-on lesson in air-powered thrust and inertia. Small, lightweight wheels have less inertia than big ones, which lets the car reach its maximum speed quickly! Just wind it up and watch it race across the floor up to 30’!
