Moving About

• variety of construction sets, toy vehicles, remote controlled cars, pictures and/or videos of vehicles and animals moving

Look at various pictures (video clips) of animals, vehicles and robots. Think about the advantages and disadvantages of various methods of getting around.

Build a variety of vehicles out of construction sets or use remote control vehicles or other toys. Test them on different surfaces. Did some perform better/worse than you expected? Which would you use for speed? For rough surfaces?
