On Friday, students used the cars they constructed to set up an experiment in physics. Using string with weights, students hypothesized and tested the speed of their vehicles. The overall goal was not to play with the cars or even to discover a physical truth; the overall goal was to get understanding for the concept that scientists and engineers only change a single variable at a time. Why do they only change one variable? Hopefully, your child can answer that question for you. | |
After the excitement of the experiment, Hoggatteers provided some quick feedback on a survey I set up on Socrative. The four-question "quiz" gave me some terrific information about the things I need to review or stress in future lessons in this unit and beyond.
