We’ve started a new PBL Unit and we’re having a lot of fun.  

Have you checked us out on Twitter?  

Our unit is called Energy Collisions and it’s a fantastic exploration into types of energy and problem solving.  

Our new driving question is:  How can we create a transportation system that will transfer a passenger safely?

The students will get to create a safety restraint system while learning about specific forces.

What constraint did you team have to work with?
What is the science behind your system?
What was the hardest/easiest thing about working in a team?
What would you do differently next time?
Why does your system work better than other systems?
