You will create a keynote on your iPad as a group about your Solar Car. It must contain at least 7 slides, including the following: (after the 7th slide you may add anything you want.)
- A photo of the top view without the solar panel. If you know how, label the photo as much as you can (not required) In the text explain some of the choices you made e.g. motor placement, gear ratio, wheel choice, etc.
- A photo of the side view with the solar panel: In the text for this slide explain why you chose the solar panel angle that you did.
- A photo of the bottom view of your car: (label if you can) text should include information about how you made adjustments to the axles and bushings to make it roll and drive straight with the least amount of friction.
- A photo of the moving car: should include speeds with units (m/s) on the 9 m track and 20m track without the solar panel and the 20 meter with the solar panel.
- Any remaining information about choices and adjustments you made to get your car to run straight and fast. (photo of your choice or no photo) using engineering terms is a plus, constraints, trade-offs, criteria
- List any changes you would make if you were going to build a new car. (doesn’t need a photo, but can include a photo of a sketch or just a sketch)
- In the final slide there should be a photo of your group holding the car. Text should be a reflection on how your group has worked together as a team. Was everyone involved, did one person take a leadership role? Did the balance of power change throughout the process? Next time you work in a group, will you change anything about your own behavior?
When your keynote is completed you will turn it into Edmodo. It is due June 10th which is the last day you will have iPads. Save it to Edmodo and share it with each other via air drop.
