My Project

I love what kids can create, ask and discover while playing with cars, trucks and Hot Wheels! In this class, students will become engineers to design ramps and tracks to discover the science of force and motion. Hot Wheels naturally engages children’s curiosity and teaches them science and math without them even realizing it! My students are special, creative and most of all scientists and engineers testing momentum, friction, mass, energy and resistance.

This STEM class (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math), also promotes a Growth Mindset and develops critical thinking skills.

With inquiry-based investigation, guidance and discussion, students will build, test and revise their track creations to discover what force and motion is all about.
