Exploring Forces and Motion with Lakeshore Learning Design & Play: Cars
by Maggie Dominguez
In this lesson students learn about forces and motion by designing cars with materials provided in the Lakeshore Learning Design & Play: Cars materials. Students will measure distance driven, reflect on their designs, and make modifications for a re-test. Students will reflect on the decisions made to design & build the initial car and modifications made.
