that we are working on the speeches in class. Please do not complete your
speech at home.

All cars and materials have been sent home. Please bring the car and red folder back on
Monday! They look fabulous! What a great job everyone did! This weekend
students are to finish their car, if not completed, and test them. They are to
use a push and pull force to make it move. They can complete the rest of the
booklet and be prepared to discuss their car on Monday!
For this summative, students will be asked to design
create and a vehicle that can be moved by pushing or pulling force. Please do
not build the car at home! We will be using all of the week to construct the
car. The construction of the car must be completed by Friday, January 29.The
tests will be completed the weekend of the January 30 at home. We will begin
