This kit is designed for whole group instruction with Kindergarten through 2nd grade classes. Students will measure the speed of two different vehicles as they travel down a track. Students will then compare and synthesize the results.

The kit includes the following materials:
We have provided as much as possible to make the project successful. You can supplement with other maker materials such as cardboard, brass fasteners, paperclips, and other necessary items.
This kit was paid for through a grant from the Harold Hacker Fund for the Advancement of Libraries, sponsored by the Friends and Foundation of the Rochester Public Library and the Rochester Regional Library Council (RRLC).
