Earlier this year, we worked on force and motion which culminated in a STEM lesson complete with cheap cars from Wal-Mart and cut up pieces of boxes, blocks, and paper towel rolls. One of my students’ went home and told his mom that “school is so much fun!”
Isn’t that what we want most? ….for out kids to love school? This was a simple and fun way to achieve that goal. Hope you can use the freebie!
The first page is a planning page where they will make a prediction and then come back after the experiment to summarize. The second page is a recording page for which ramp or creation made their car go the best (and also two other combinations). I let mine draw their creations, as well as describe it.

Jack had a blast, too!
This week we’ll be using my Penguin Close Read to learn all about our favorite flightless birds
This is one of the pages from the pack that we will be doing =)
(btw, we went to the movies yesterday and saw the Penguins of Madagascar and it was REALLY good!) Enjoy the rest of your Sunday! I have laundry to fold and yes, I STILL need to take down our Christmas trees #wishIcouldwigglemynose
Such fun! Thanks for sharing!

Love it! I should totally add this to the next time I do a force/motion round up post on Teach Junkie. But until then, I'd love to have you link it up to Teaching Idea Tuesday – it's a great idea!
