Fox working on his Kub Kar design for Scouts. He took inspiration from Mark Robers design for the shape. For the colour I suggested he google what is the fastest colour and see if there is any science behind that, apparently it's been proven blue is the fastest colour so he has chosen blue. Fox is hoping to win the race and earn a STEM and Innovation badge.

Art

• Fox learned about design and took inspiration from Mark Robers design for his Kub Kar shape.
• He learned about color theory and chose blue as it is considered the fastest color.
• Fox applied his creativity and artistic skills to design and decorate his Kub Kar.

English Language Arts

• Fox used internet research skills to find information about the fastest color for his Kub Kar.
• He communicated his ideas and plans effectively to his teacher and peers, expressing his desire to win the race and earn badges.
• Fox might have practiced persuasive writing skills to convince his teacher and peers about the benefits of choosing blue as the color for his Kub Kar.

Math

• Fox might have used measurement skills to ensure the dimensions of his Kub Kar are within the allowed limits.
• He could have used geometry concepts to design the shape of his Kub Kar, taking inspiration from Mark Robers' design.
• Fox might have calculated the weight of his Kub Kar to meet the race requirements.

Science

• Fox learned about the concept of speed and how different factors, such as color, can influence it.
• He explored the science behind color and its effect on speed, discovering that blue is considered the fastest color.
• Fox might have experimented with different materials to find the most suitable and lightweight options for his Kub Kar.

For continued development, Fox can further explore the concept of aerodynamics and how it relates to the design of his Kub Kar. He can also research other factors that can impact speed, such as friction and weight distribution. Additionally, Fox can investigate other successful Kub Kar designs and analyze the principles behind their success.
