surprise

Today I was in the middle of a science lesson on motion, forces, speed... We were in the final lesson of a unit which we had been covering the past few weeks. I turned the page and was surprised to find a picture of two soap box derby cars on a starting ramp. Wow! I have been teaching this science book for 4 years - and did not know what soap box derby racing was all about about until the past year. Last fall when I taught this lesson, we were not into racing yet. It all began in May. So - tomorrow Doug is going to bring in Emily's car and we will show it off. Hopefully it will work for Emily & Michael's class to come in and see the car also. What a great way to end a science unit.
