Schoology will be used throughout the JetToy Challenge as a way to house and organize all student resources in one location. Each of my 5 class periods has their own science course page. On Schoology, I there will be many different types of resources that align with the JetToy Challenge for student access and collaboration. Students can also access their JetToy Digital Interactive Science Notebook on Schoology throughout the activity.
Our Digital Interactive Science Notebook for the JetToy Challenge will be created by students in Google Slides.

Students log and journal during each of their learning experiences within the JetToy Challenge. As students work in collaborative small groups, they create a self-propelled car using the Engineering Design Process. In their groups, students keep an individual digital science journal that contains daily directions, data, charts/graphs, videos, and other sources of media as they work together in a Design Team.

As students begin to design their JetToy prototypes, they will eventually run into design issues that they will have to overcome. FlipGrid can serve as a video collaboration platform, allowing students to record videos of their group's design ideas and thought-process. Other students from other groups can view and see that other groups are going through similar issues. Solving problems is all about putting many ideas together to come up with a solution.

YouTube provides a variety of different how-to videos on how to build a working JetToy. This particular video shows how to make a JetToy chassis, showing that certain conditions/variables need to be held constant for consistent results amongst the class. Other variables/conditions are ones that are going to be tested to determine which conditions/variables have the greatest effect on the distance the JetToy travels.

Students can create a video presentation of their own group's journey from start to finish with their self-propelled JetToy car. When students are done with their variable tests to determine which has the greatest effect on distance, WeVideo can serve as a platform they showcase their data, results, and overall conclusions.

While testing different variables that affect the distance the JetToy travels, students use Google Sheets to present their results to other groups and the entire class. Students then analyze their own data to make overall conclusions about the conditions that are most favorable for the JetToy traveling the farthest distance. Students eventually take this data to tweak their JetToy one final time for the final JetToy Competition in our Auxillary Gym. Students are required have the same design as each other (based on what we learned from each other's data) and are given one chance to launch it to see who is crowned the overall champion of JetToy!
