-a toothbrush

-diapers

-toys (that he can chew)

-a cover for when he's feeding or sleeping

Testing our vehicle

Yesterday we tested our car with another grade 2 class. First we tested without the weight to see how it rolled. Then we tested it with a weight of 1 kilogram. Guess which car won?
- #18

Ours did!

Our car was the strongest one. It was the fastest and it rolled further than the other car.

- #9

Our car stayed together and held the weight.

-# 20

Our car stayed on the ramp and it went straight.

The design process

Goal: Our goal was to build a car.
Materials: k'nex
Plan: We planned the design of the car. We drew pictures of our car. We worked together to make the car.

We learned that some things work and others don't.
Our car can hold a kilogram. The kilogram weight is made of metal.
