Gravity Car STEM Kit – Hands-On Energy & Motion Science Kit for Kids Grades 3-5

Introduce students to energy and motion with the Gravity Car STEM Kit — a hands-on science experiment that teaches key physics concepts without batteries or motors. Students build a car powered purely by gravity, using a ramp or lifted weight to demonstrate how potential energy converts into kinetic energy. As they experiment, learners explore motion, friction, and acceleration through guided discovery and engineering design.

A perfect ready-to-use lesson plan addition for elementary and middle school science classrooms, this kit makes energy transfer concepts visual, memorable, and easy to teach.

Why Teachers Love This Kit:

• Learning Concepts: Potential and kinetic energy, motion, friction, and acceleration
• NGSS Standard: PS3 – Energy; supports Next Generation Science Standards for Energy and Motion
• Grade Level: Ideal for grades 3–5 science classrooms and after-school STEM programs
• Setup & Use: Ready-to-use, ideal for small groups or partner work

Perfect for energy and motion units, physics experiments, engineering design lessons, and STEM stations.
