| Schoolwide Challenges Long-term
projects spark the melding of bookwork learning, practical application
and creative genius. The “Rube Goldberg Challenge”
and “Hill Quest” projects typically run for a few
weeks fro the time students receive their kits to the concluding
event. The projects are ope-ended and teachers can vary the
amount of classroom time dedicated to the project. Students
enthusiastically apply science learned in the classsroom to
these creative endeavors. Hill
Quest Wheels, axles, chassis parts, connectors, rubber bands and mouse traps are the basic components of each kit that allows students to construct cars that sprint or creep to the top of a wooden ramp…jousting with another student’s car Challenge: Beat your opponent to the top of the three foot ramp and hold your ground. The project tests all the dynamics of Force and Motion and tests planning and problem solving. Competition day draws incredible excitement. Multiple ramps mean a large number of races for each car and a timely selection of the winners.
Cost:
$8 per student Competition ramps: $15 per ramp (1 free ramp
for each 100 kits ordered.)
