Engage your students with this week-long derby car building project. This PowerPoint presentation will walk you and your students through the process and background knowledge needed to plan, design, and construct a sturdy vehicle ready to enter the pit. This project serves to reach engineering standards, but also can be used to touch on other topics, like energy transfers and calculating speed. This could be an independent project but is also great for group work and collaboration. I like to end
Perfect for those looking for a simple metric system slideshow project that will help your students learn and remember what these unfamiliar measurements look like in their daily lives. This WS provides directions of how to build a 14-slide presentation with real examples of metric system measurements, including mass, length, and volume measurements. Students can use photos they scavenge from the internet or take themselves as examples. This project took my students two, 45-minute class periods.
