      While this activity does not cover a specific standard it does meet the requirement of teaching the design process.  Make sure that students must design, test, and revise their design to make the activity authentic.  A race would be a great final activity.  Assessment could come from an oral presentation on what they did and why or a visual presentation, such as a poster.

      SC.2.3.7 2000Investigate and observe that the way to change how something is moving is to give it a push or a pull.

    By focusing on the design aspect of this activity a budding scientist can learn a lot about solving a problem through the scientific design process.

    Great for deciephering where energy comes from. The design process gives the student a full understanding of how the vehicle works and why it moves.

      1.3.1. "Classify living organisms according to variations in specific physical features (e.g., body coverings, appendages) and describe how those features may provide an advantage for survival in different environments." This activity can be modified for ELL students by having them draw pictures of the bugs they find, rather than writing words or numbers. This can also be adjusted for older groups by having them classify animals they see, which could include mammals, insects, fish, etc. They could also describe many other characteristics, such as the types of food these animals or insects eat.

    Students observe different bugs found in nature, and record their characteristics (number of legs, the presence of wings, etc.). The students can then draw their own conclusions about the types of bugs found.
