Check out Speedometry, a fun, interactive way to learn about science, math and engineering! Developed and created by University of Southern California’s Rossier School of Education and Mattel Children’s Foundation, Speedometry uses Hot Wheels toys to create meaningful lessons on velocity, gravity and kinetic energy. The lessons engage students in the science and math material and lead them to explore a particular problem and explain their findings, deepening their knowledge through elaboration and evaluation.

On the Speedometry website, families can download an activities packet, and educators can request a free classroom kit and lesson plan. http://www.hotwheels.com/en-us/speedometry.html

USC Rossier’s online teaching degree offers insight into Speedometry STEM curriculum.
