3rd Grade Carts Go the Distance

Mr. Thibault’s 3rd grade science class participated in the ‘Cart Distance Challenge.’ Students applied their knowledge of force, gravity, and changes in motion to design and build a cart using a set amount of materials. Working in small groups, they strengthened their teamwork and communication skills, and had a lot of fun throughout the challenge. Students tested and redesigned their carts so they could move and travel effectively after being launched from a ramp. The cart that traveled the farthest won the competition! All 3rd grade students will be participating in this science challenge.
