Project: “Save a Life-Drive Safe”
Grade: 10th
Content areas: physics, ELA, math

Enduring Understanding: There are scientific principles involved in making positive choices behind the wheel, which can impact our community.
Final Product: Infographic
Culminating Experience: Infographics to be printed on poster size paper and mounted around school during driver safety awareness week.
Driving Question: How can we educate young drivers on the importance of driving safely so they make good choices behind the wheel?

Benchmarks/Deliverables:

1. Reaction time, speed, distance: Detailed graph analysis of physics concepts
2. Calculations, graph, safe-follow distance: Student generated graph
3. Research on local driver/pedestrian safety: Data collection, Infographic draft
