1. Ask a question:
How far can the LEGO car go?
The LEGO car can go _____cm.
What do you need?
1. 2 two by four plates
2. 2 one by six bricks
3. 4 small wheels
4. 2 six stud axles
2 two by
four plates
4 yellow connectors
2 small wheels
2 one by
six bricks
2 big wheels
Put the connectors far apart. Put the circle in the brick.
The plus goes in the wheel.
Leave the wheels on the ends of the connectors.
Build the starter car. How far can it go?
1. On the first try my car went ________ cm.
2. On the second try my car went ________ cm.
3. On the third try my car went ________ cm.
Do 3 test runs to see how far the car goes.
1. Ask a question:
How can we change a LEGO car to go farther?
2. make a guess
I think the car will go farther if we make it (taller) | (wider) | (longer) .
3. Try to do something:
Making the car wider will make it go a ( longer / shorter ) distance.
I use
2 four by two plates
2 four stud axels
I make the car wider.
1. On the first try my car went ________ cm.
2. On the second try my car went ________ cm.
3. On the third try my car went ________ cm.
ONLY make it WIDER, NOT taller or longer!
4. How did it go?
The changes make the car go ….
farther
less far
3. Try to do something:
Making the car wider will make it go a ( longer / shorter ) distance.
I use
