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 6-Foot Race Tracks with Standard Hanger Pads

Shorter tracks offer engaging opportunities for students to make science concepts and the scientific process more understandable and relatable through practical application.

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® Racers

Students can use high-performance cars in races and experiments.

Blu Track® Physics Cars

Students can change the mass of the racers up to 150% to manipulate variables.

Blu Track® Ramps

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

Graduated Bottles

Its volume markings (mL) help ensure consistency across experiments while actively demonstrating the concept of volume to students.

Measuring Spoons

Students can measure consistent or varied amounts of material (e.g., salt, sand), allowing them to compare and contrast results.

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 Beginning Force and Motion STEM Kit is designed for students in kindergarten through 5th grade.

This kit contains everything a teacher needs to teach the concepts of force and motion to students. This STEM kit allows students to engage, explore, and expand their learning through hands on activities.

The middle rail of the Edu STEM track allows for inserts to be placed inside. The inserts can provide supportive structure to track design and be used for developing measurement, data collection and data analysis skills.

Blu Track® physics cars allow students the opportunity to see and feel the variable of mass by changing the number of washers. They can quickly see if their predictions line up with the concepts of gravity and physics.

Additionally, Blu Track® provides a variety of teacher and student resources for FREE!
