Fan Powered Vehicles

Students will design and construct a fan-powered vehicle that meets design criteria designated by the teacher. They will use a plastic fan and elastic, combined with other materials to create a moving vehicle. They will work individually to design, test, and complete building their vehicle. Presentation and evaluation can incorporate a display of the working model for the class, or student projects can compete in any of the following: 

• speed
• distance on a flat or inclined surface
• trajectory
• load-bearing over a set distance
