Today we started a unit on The Technological Design Process. For this mini unit you will be approaching your learning from the STEM viewpoint; combining science engineering technology and math. Your challenge is to build a mousetrap car that travels as far as possible!
This in class project will take you through the design process of :
questioning
brainstorming
researching
build a model
testing
re-design
In the picture the students are researching how different sized wheels affect the distance a mousetrap car travels, by looking a data from a student's work!
