자동차 및 트럭 엔지니어링 STEM(SP) 과정 1

Join me, Professor Turbo, and Mr. Robot for some super science fun with our Cars and Trucks Course! Engineers will design ramps, tracks, jumps, and crashes to test and prove the science of force and motion.  All lessons are developmentally appropriate for your learner and have built-in Brain Breaks and Dance Parties. 

This five-week course will be presented through Nearpod with slides, videos, interactive activities, games, and dance parties. To get the most out of this course, please try to have at least two toy cars and some track (or something that can act as a track) available. 

Cars and trucks naturally engages children’s curiosity and teaches them STEM concepts without students even realizing it! Course activities will provide a way to practice Science, Math, and Engineering through play. Not only do the learners engage in STEM, but our class also promotes a Growth Mindset and develops critical thinking skills. Learners and families will share moments of joy, excitement, curiosity, and wonder through inquiry and investigation. 

The Teacher will be available to help, comment, and provide feedback throughout the class. Hot Wheels Engineering is a multi-part unit focusing on force and motion concepts: energy, aerodynamics, momentum, resistance, and mass.  The class emphasizes creative problem-solving through engaging, exploring, questioning, explaining, elaborating, and evaluating science and engineering concepts.

Having your own cars and tracks is not required but having some kind of moving vehicle and track (or something that can act like a track like cardboard) will greatly increase the fun and interaction for the student.
