The Science of Hot Wheels: Newton's Speedway

Help me give my students materials for our force and motion unit. I'd love to give them authentic opportunities to study effects of forces using tools they will find engaging!

My Students

My students are a vivacious group of fifth graders who live in beautiful South Carolina! My students love learning through exploration and collaboration.

I believe that our students deserve the best resources in order to provide them with a high-quality education.

As an educator, my goal is to create a classroom that focuses on establishing a literacy-rich environment. The resources and tools in my classroom are used daily by students or myself and I want to make sure they are the best. As an educator of the next generation, I want to make sure that I am providing the best educational opportunity.

My Project

As a way to increase engagment in our force and motion unit I'd like to incorporate more scientific investigations into our units. Students love hot wheels and cars so I feel that this would be a great way to study charactersistics of force and motion.

Help us plan for science investigations by providing engaging materials for students to use.

We will conduct multiple experiments using these tools and these tools can be reused each year. I am hopeful that through investigations and inquiries students will be able to infer rules of force and motion.
