Third graders in Mrs. Strycker’s class at Triton Elementary School have been learning about the scientific method where scientists begin with a purpose or question, research, put together a hypothesis; or a guess about what they think will happen, experiment, analyze, and then draw conclusions.
Students created mini scientific journals and recorded information throughout the process. They experimented with supplies for their vehicles and tested them out at the elementary gym with the help of Mr. Carpenter; Triton’s physical education teacher.
Mr. Jack Carpenter conducted the experimentation phase of this project by setting up race brackets for students. Each person raced their vehicle to find the fastest one. Everyone was a great sport and showed Trojan PRIDE!
The finals steps was to analyze the outcomes of races and draw some conclusions about their vehicle designs.
Top performing vehicles were Evan Amor, Dannon Titus, and Nate Schuler! Every student still came out a winner by learning about the scientific method, how to analyze, draw conclusions with their outcomes, and have fun! We really appreciated Mr. Carpenter incorporating science in P.E. too!
