{"product_id":"lego-race-cars","title":"LEGO Race Cars – Physics, Engineering \u0026 Aerodynamics STEM Learning Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLEGO Race Cars, created by the Editors of Klutz and published by Klutz (Publication Date: 08\/16\/2022), is a hands-on STEM engineering kit designed to teach physics and design principles through competitive car building and experimentation. Students assemble a durable chipboard race track and construct 10 unique LEGO race cars using step-by-step instructions. Through guided building and head-to-head testing, learners explore real-world scientific concepts such as aerodynamics, friction, force, gravity, speed, and motion. By racing, modifying, and rebuilding their cars, students apply the engineering design process—plan, build, test, evaluate, and improve. The included nonfiction content expands learning by introducing students to notable vehicles in automotive history and comparing racing formats such as NASCAR and Formula One, reinforcing connections between classroom physics concepts and real-world engineering applications. STEM Learning Outcomes: Understanding force, motion, and friction Exploring aerodynamic design and airflow principles Applying measurement and comparative data analysis Practicing iterative problem-solving and design improvement Strengthening spatial reasoning and structural planning This playful but standards-supportive STEM kit encourages students to experiment with weight distribution, wheel alignment, and structural modifications to optimize performance. Appropriate for upper elementary and middle school learners, LEGO Race Cars supports homeschool science curriculum, enrichment programs, and project-based STEM instruction while building analytical thinking, creativity, and applied engineering skills.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scholastic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47477238431993,"sku":"9781338802061","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/0015\/3081\/files\/db1a989031f424087cdb235d548e1eeff65eff3e6feb4d3e78f2887450e300da.jpg?v=1772923661","url":"https:\/\/silverdeansupplies.com\/products\/lego-race-cars","provider":"SilverDean Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
