This project is suitable for a summative physics project for grades 11-12. The resource provides everything you need to be able to teach and implement the project. It gives key concepts, instructions and tips for how to build the models as well as diagrams for how to create the projects if you haven't done it yourself. This is a good project if you are covering Newton's Laws. What's great is that the resource also provides pacing/implementation guidelines as well as options for how this project can be graded or assessed. I definitely plan to try this out for my physics class! This will be able to be done remotely/virtually if students are given the proper materials/resources.

This article is a how-to for using paper cars to increase interest and understanding of the laws of Newton as it pertains to the motion of a vehicle. All is provided in this article starting with the design and construction of the cars, physics concepts addressed and ending in assessment of the activity. The photos are very helpful to identify specific areas to address. This project would be suitable for AP physics class.
