Motion & Design Challenge

The children completed a design challenge on Friday. They were working as engineers to design a lunar vehicle that could carry rocks (represented by blocks) across their work space within 4-6 seconds. Students experimented with adding/subtracting weight on their vehicle, and there was lots of trial and error with the amount of force used to pull the vehicle. I don't think you can watch the videos in this slide show, but it gives you a better understanding of their work. On Tuesday, they will write a report about how they met the challenge.
