Students with disabilities need materials that ignite their excitement toward learning. The STEM cars that I am requesting for forty-five of my students will provide access to hands-on learning that will make the scientific concepts of force and motion understandable to my students and will encourage them to see and feel things beyond book learning. By being able to modify and enhance the performance of their individual stem balloon cars, that my special students will later race, they will not only learn the relationship of mass, acceleration, friction, inertia, and centripetal force, but they will also have something to keep and remind them of their day at the science terrific races. Then the scientific race is on! Students will compete against each other to see whose car goes the fastest, and whose car goes the farthest. The top award will go to the student who is able to state what modifications made the difference. The cars are propelled by balloons, thus students will be experimenting with the mass of the car, the wheels shape, the size of the balloons and the amount of air they will need to "win" the race.
