Mousetrap Vehicle Project (Everything the student needs other than materials)
This Google Slide contains every document that your student will need to complete a Mousetrap Vehicle Project. It serves as their interactive notebook for the project. I am assuming that the teacher already knows how to use CAD. I had students use tinkercad.com for their preliminary designs. Students can use any CAD software to create a design of their project before the build. Tinkercad.com is a web-based 3D design program that is free to use with a Google account. It is allowed for student use

Bridge Efficiency Tracking for a full class (Interactive)
This free resource will allow you to track the efficiency of balsa bridges while combining weight and cost. This one document can be shared with your entire class. Students can edit this document live to make predictions and analyze the results after each bridge has been tested. The document also allows room for photos of the bridge. This is also included in the Bridge Design Interactive notebook that can be purchased on TPT through this store.

Additional biographical information
I have been teaching using the resources in this shop for the past 10 years. Many resources have been created, tested, and re-designed close to 100 times. How is this possible? I'm lucky enough to teach 6-8th grade STEM classes to middle school students in a quarterly revolving schedule. This means that I teach multiple sections per quarter and start over again every 45 days. Each time a class period ends, I make notes and revisions. I am thankful for the opportunity to save future teachers countless hours of trial and error. I am confident that the resources on this site will save you time inside and outside of the classroom. Feel free to email me with any questions or suggestions!
