Lesson 4: Engineering, Testing, Analysis and Graphing
by Brittany Keller
This is a continuation of lessons 1, 2 and 3. Students will test their cars for distance and speed. Students will add weight to the car and test for distance and speed again to determine if their car goes faster or slower. This is the final lesson of the project.
