Thank you Mr. Ryan for hosting our class!

 

Building an Automobile- STEM project

  
Science activities satisfy natural curiosities and are motivational for future learning. Students are challenged to design and build a "car" that can roll and move down an inclined plane, and with pushing force, on a flat surface. Please encourage your child to be creative and as independent as possible when selecting materials to build with (minimal adult assistance please).
Students will get to choose what materials they will use for this project. Part of the engineering design process is deciding what materials to use and then testing them. The children will complete this assignment in class.

Here are some examples: Round objects to use as wheels, like CDs or bottle caps Straight objects to use as axles, like pencils, popsicle sticks or wooden skewers Construction materials for the body of your car, like kleenex boxes, plastic bottles, plastic cups, yogurt drink containers. Different materials to attach things together, like tape and rubber bands.
* IF an item must be cut to feed the axle through, please assist your child at home. I do not have tools to assist them and I don't want them to get hurt trying to drill a hole with their scissors.

All Materials are to be brought to school for “building” day on Monday, June 10th. 

Build a Car- S.T.E.M. assignment

                             (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math)

Stem-tastic	Your project is successfully designed and constructed to perform a specific function. You answered all class questions with confidence and knowledge. You were able to talk about the challenges in your project and explain clearly how you solved the problems.
Stem-azing	Your project is designed and constructed to perform a specific function, but may not work. You answered most class questions with confidence and knowledge. You were able to talk about the challenges in your project and explain how you solved the problems.
stem-progress	Your project is not designed to perform a specific function, however is constructed well. With a little help, you answered some class questions. You explained the challenges in your project and needed some prompting to tell how the problems were solved.
Stem-working on it	Your project is not designed to perform a specific function and is not constructed well. You had a lot of trouble answering class questions, even with help from the teacher. You explained the challenges in your project with some prompting. You had trouble remembering how you solved the problems.
