Meets STEM Guidelines

This kit includes seven lessons that are aligned to 15 Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for grades 3 and up.

Included in this STEM Kit

Blu Track® Edu 50-Foot Race Track with Premium Hanger Pad

50-foot Edu allows students with extended length of track to explore and build what they envision. Students can be next level challenged to show understanding and application of specific physics principles including creating coasters of all kinds.

Blu Track® Suction Cup

Attach to any clean, smooth surface, hang the track, and start racing!

Blu Track® Anchor Bar

Attach to the track to add stability and hold the drop angle.

Blu Track® Insert Kits

Dual purpose. Place in middle rail for data collection and consistency across experiments. Use as structure in more creative and complex designs.

Blu Track® Edu Wire Support Insert

Place in middle rail of any Edu Series race track 50-foot or longer to provide form and support to track designs.

Blu Track® Ramps

Place the ramps under the track to add stability, change angles and for designing loops.

Teacher’s Guide

A comprehensive resource that provides educators with lesson plans, background information on physics concepts, and setup instructions for conducting experiments. It is designed to align with educational standards and structure activities to effectively teach principles of force, motion, and energy.

Description

Blu Track® ​Edu Advanced Coaster Design STEM Kit is designed for students in Grades 6 and up.

The Advanced Coaster Design Kit is the perfect solution for teachers and students who are excited about engineering challenges. Apply STEM concepts in engaging ways!

The middle channel of the Edu STEM track can be used with supports to stabilize a track design. Use the inserts or the wire to take engineering ideas to the next level.

The inserts can also be used to apply concepts of measurement, data collection and data analysis.

Enrich the learning lab and problem solving by adding basic classroom items to create the best track possible – get creative!
