9th Graders Present TED Talks and Test Egg Collision Cars

9th graders in the Integrated Science, History and English program spent their exam periods this week completing two hands-on projects. They presented their completed TED Talk videos on 'what is the meaning of life?' Finished videos were shared with the class one by one, and after each,  the class discussed what was shared, techniques used, research cited, and things they liked about each video. The other project they completed was their Egg Car Collision tests. Drawing on their knowledge of kinetic energy and some basic laws of motion, students had to build some sort of attachment onto a Matchbox car that would both hold and protect a raw egg as the car moved down a ramp and crashed into a barrier. The testing was fun and every car was a winner. Good work, Integrated Science I students! Check out some photos.
