Tumwater Middle School students and staff are excited to end this year on a high note with a hands-on engineering project that you can help make a reality. After extensively studying solar panels this spring, students will build their very own solar cars!
Together we will learn about the fascinating transfer of solar energy to kinetic/mechanical energy. Students will sketch their ideas and re-iterate their design many times to reach optimal speed. They will also experiment with different sized wheels, axels and gears in order to get their car to travel straight, fast and far.
Hands-on projects engage our student scientists in active science inquiry and design thinking. Innovative ideas like this Solar Car project captivate student's imagination and inspire them to further investigation!
 | Beaverton’s Choice is an online crowdfunding platform available only to BSD staff. All funds raised go directly toward the project! BEF funds projects in every school in the Beaverton School District. |
