... Drivers!! Start... Your .... Engines!!!

Drivers!! Start... Your... Engines!!!!

We just finished our AMSTI Motion and Design Unit in Science! It was great fun and is always a favorite of the kids! The students participated in a Design Challenge to build a vehicle. They worked in groups and then we raced them!! To see whose could go the farthest in the shortest amount of time. Here are some pictures from our races!

On your mark... get set.... go!!!
And they're off!!!

Erin and Abbagail discuss their vehicle and how it could go faster!

Dakota prepares to launch his team's vehicle.

We even had some of Ms. Gray's students stop by to join in the race with us!!!



Alexis and Hannah's team may have launched a little too hard... theirs flipped... several times!!!



Tony striking a pose for the camera!!! Of course, I was laying on the floor to get the shots and he was too quick for me!
Kira and Elijah measure the distance their car went, while Alexis and Hannah discuss their strategy for the next race.
Hannah is ready to go!!!


It was great fun for all!!!!
