The materials selected for this project will serve to further enhance the students' understanding of the interconnectedness of the various concepts introduced during their semester of introductory physics. The course is provided to students who are also dually enrolled in an early college setting and are managing both their high school and college course load. In most cases, the students spend 50% of their time on the college campus, and 50% of their time at the high school. By providing more experientially based assignments, the hands-on lab will also serve to supplement content information provided on days they are away at college. The electromagnet and solar car design kit selected provide a connection between kinematics, dynamics, forces, energy, electricity, and magnetism. The Iron-Clad Electromagnet will complement the classroom demonstration items for the unit on the relationship between electricity and magnetism. A demonstration motor is already a part of the collection and provides students with insight on the conversion of electrical to mechanical energy while noting the effect of the magnetic poles on the process. The addition of the electromagnet will expand the application of the interaction between electricity and magnetism. The solar car design kit provides an opportunity to employ the engineering design process. Students will be given a design challenge and required to include a report representing the design process, including the collection of data as the design is tested to ensure it meets the requirements. As a former NASA engineer, there is an interest in expanding this project to represent the design of a solar-powered Mars rover. This bridge to the world or aerospace will hopefully spark ​interest and inspire a new generation of explorers.
