the best race car track ever

This term our Project Based Learning (PBL) has been about design and the big question was; How can we use a Steam approach to make a marketable product?

First we learned what STEAM stood for.

S for Science

T for Technology

E for Engineering

A for the Arts

and M for Maths

Then we were given challenges. The first to make a chair using newspaper, string and straws that was able to hold a figure made out of multi-link blocks.

Then; make a table that was able to balance MnMs for the team. We were much better at the second challenge because …the chair was harder because it had strong things when mams are small and light.

In Literacy we learned to write up science experiments and to write a technology report using the design process of ask, imagine, plan, create, improve and share.  my work

Our next step was to form teams and ask ourselves the big question again.

How can we use a Steam approach to make a marketable product? Our aim was to create enough products or experiences and sell it to raise money for charity.

My team made this…we made a race car track we made out of cardboard,duct tape,popsicle stick

Reflection

My highlight from this PBL was…we made $34 lots of people have people came to are stand and we had music playing in the background it work lot’s of fun but one lane broke

Next time I would  Do less hot glue on the track and the cars and the track will work better
