Students in Ms. Velazquez’s science classes turned learning into action as they designed racetracks to explore speed, distance, and time. Using their knowledge of potential and kinetic energy, students built tracks with loops and tested how much kinetic energy their cars needed to successfully complete the course. Their investigations didn’t stop there—students also explored how energy moves through transverse and longitudinal waves. They created detailed illustrations, labeling each wave’s parts and explaining how different waves transfer energy. Through hands-on experiments and creative models, students gained a deeper understanding of physical science concepts while having fun putting their learning into motion!
