Toad’s Car ReflectionHow will your students identify the science involved?
What factors made your car swerve the most? How did you fix them?Which designs were the most effective? Why?What design elements made your car travel the furthest?What was the most difficult part of this activity? What could be done to improve it?
Small Group DiscussionCharacteristics and benefits of Engineering Design.How does the Engineering Design Process differ from Science Inquiry?What other activities can you modify to use Engineering Design?Problems you anticipate and how to resolve them?Biggest roadblock to using the Engineering Design Process?
