Math
- The student learned about measurements and geometry while planning and setting the dimensions for the mini ramp.
- Calculating angles was necessary to ensure proper construction and functionality of the ramp.
- By estimating and calculating the cost of materials, the student gained insights into budgeting and finance.
Science
- The student explored concepts of force, motion, and energy while understanding how these apply to the movement of the skateboard on the mini ramp.
- Understanding the properties of different types of wood and how to work with them provided an introduction to materials science.
- Observing the effects of friction and gravity on the movement of the skateboard helped the student to grasp basic physics principles.
For continued development, the student can explore the physics of skateboarding, including the mechanics behind performing tricks, understanding the impacts of different ramp designs, and investigating the properties of various materials used in ramp construction.
