Hoạt động của dự án
Meet the partner class and launch the car challenge
Students introduce themselves and their communities to the partner class through a video call, then see their plank car models and learn about the investigation goals.
Build, test, and record how shape, weight, and wheels affect movement
In small teams, students change one design feature at a time, run controlled roll tests, and record distances and times in a shared data table with the partner class.
Compare findings with the partner class and analyze patterns
Students review both classes' data together, identify which design choices performed best under different conditions, and explain why they think the results happened.
Adapt designs for communities around the world
Teams choose a community profile, such as a rainy mountain town or a dusty city street, and decide which plank car design choices would work best there, using evidence from the shared data.
Present findings and recommendations to the partner class
Teams share their test results, community recommendations, and reflections on what they learned about working across cultures during a joint showcase.
