5SW

On Wednesday the students in 5SW built solar cars. Students used K’NEX and followed the directions included in the kit. It was sometimes trickier than it seemed! There were two types of cars to build. One that was powered by a solar panel and one that was powered by a capacitor charged by solar power! It was a great way to celebrate all that students had accomplished during the Building Big / Going Green unit of study. Families, teachers and community members were impressed with all that the students shared on BB/GG Night. Solar cars were a fun way to celebrate and connect to all that students had learned!

Here are some pictures of the solar car fun:
