School Programs
Rev up your lessons for new STEAM Workshops!
San Diego Automotive Museum provides unique hands-on STEAM workshops for grades TK-8th. Each of our programs is in alignment with the Common Core State Standards and Next Generation Science Standards.
Workshops are available in the Museum or our education team can bring these experiences to your school. Museum workshops include a customized self-guided tour that ties in the STEAM concepts students learn in the program.
Forces at Full Speed
Grades 2-5
What makes a vehicle move efficiently? In this workshop, students will learn about the science behind vehicle dynamics.
Students will learn how friction plays a crucial role in a vehicle's speed through a series of hands-on experiments. Then they will have the opportunity to build and race their very own balloon car creations. To recap and solidify the concepts we end with a group discussion on why the winner's car was so efficient.
