Fast and the curious Car design http://www.thesolutionsite.com/lesson/26803/overview.htm In this unit, students design and build electric cars. This project is designed for 9-12 but will definitely work with middles school and junior high. The Journal Requirements worksheet from lesson 1 is an excellent resource for teachers to check the progress students are making and for students to plan. If using this activity with younger students who have not experienced open-ended projects, teachers may need to created handouts to help guide the students until they become more experienced with this type of learning. ~ Evaluated by Becky Hammack
