Racing Cars and the History/Chemistry of Chocolate


I learned about the benefits of building race cars in the classroom as a way to teach mathematics and science.  It is particularly beneficial and relevant to the 3rd grade standards.  It was a great way to incorporate the Scientific Method, as well.

  1. Ask a question.
  2. Do Background Research
  3. Construct a Hypothesis
  4. Test your Hypothesis by doing an experiment
  5. Analyze your data and draw a conclusion
  6. Communicate your results
I also learned about the www.nbclearn.com website.  It has such a plethora of resources about relating everyday items to chemistry concepts.  My group developed a glogster about the History and Chemistry of Chocolate. Yuuuummm,
