Ready, Set GO!

 Today we created our own cars made from cardboard, wooden wheels, sticks, butterfly clips, ruber bands and clothespins. This was my first time making a small modeled car, the experience was inspiring! It was difficult think about the creation of a car that would be fast and stable. Our group experience trial and error as we went through the steps of the scientific method:
1. Ask a question
2. Do background research
3. Construct a hypthesis
4. Test your hypothesis
5. Analyze your data and draw a conclusion
6. Communicate your results
After creating our car, we raced them down the hill! Our car did not successfully function, the wheels had trouble turning, however the experience was fun and engaging! This activity would absolutely be a wonderful experiment to do with the students. It requires you to critically think about how cars function and the process of the scientific method to complete the activity.
