Thinking About WHAT You Did: How Did I Do?

Strategy: Assessing the product

Curriculum Focus: Science--hovercraft
Connections: Social Studies--impact of air and space technology on society

Having some of the right information doesn’t always lead to the right answer, as Glenn and Taylor discover when their initial attempt to build a hovercraft falls flat. Helped by an uncle and a rubric, they retrace their steps, adjusting until they finally launch their “Flying Pizza” successfully.

Your students learn to ask questions about why a project might fail, what might be wrong with the information, and what they need to do to help a project succeed.
