- Calculating slope of a ramp
- In On track learning: Safety through technology and design, page 9
- In this lesson, students build a ramp and calculate its slope at different heights. They will also test cars to see how the height of the ramp affects speed.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 7–10 English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science)
- By Roxanne Moses.
- Car tests
- In On track learning: Safety through technology and design, page 11
- In this culminating lesson, student will test their car designs for safety and either speed or distance. They will evaluate their success at working as a team and consider what changes they'd make if they did the project all over again.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 7–10 Science)
- By Roxanne Moses.
- Designing for speed and distance
- In On track learning: Safety through technology and design, page 3
- In this lesson, students will learn about factors engineers must balance when designing a car. Students will find that not only must engineers consider the actual car design, but also road design and fuel limitations. Students will apply some of their new knowledge as they continue to work on their own car designs.

- Egg drop to test barrier design
- In On track learning: Safety through technology and design, page 7
- In this lesson, students will construct an egg catcher that will catch an egg from the greatest possible height without cracking or breaking the egg.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 7–10 Science)
- By Roxanne Moses.
- Egg transport vehicle
- In On track learning: Safety through technology and design, page 2
- In this lesson, students will learn about car design features that help to protect passengers in a crash. They will transfer this knowledge to their car designs as they continue working as a group.

- Fire retardation and fabrics
- In On track learning: Safety through technology and design, page 6
- In this lesson, students will determine the fire retardation level of several fabrics.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 7–10 English Language Arts, Healthful Living, and Science)
- By Roxanne Moses.
- A hula hoop is like a racetrack: Calculating the circumference, radius, and area of a circle
- In On track learning: Safety through technology and design, page 10
- In this lesson, students will use hoops of different sizes to explore geometry concepts such as circumference, area, and radius. They will also use indirect measurement and calculate percent of error.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 7–10 Mathematics)
- By Roxanne Moses.
- Material resiliency in safety harnesses
- In On track learning: Safety through technology and design, page 5
- In this lesson, students will test their hypotheses about the type of fabric most suitable for a safety harness.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 7–10 English Language Arts and Science)
- By Roxanne Moses.
- On your mark
- In On track learning: Safety through technology and design, page 1
- In this lesson, students will get organized for the rest of the lessons in the On Track Learning unit. They will learn about the requirements for the car design, form into teams, and decide on member roles.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 8–10 Science)
- By Roxanne Moses.
- Paint lab
- In On track learning: Safety through technology and design, page 8
- In this lab, students create colors for their car designs. Students must precisely record the formula for their color creations so that others could replicate the color exactly.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 7–9 Visual Arts Education and Science)
- By Roxanne Moses.
- Vehicle safety features
- In On track learning: Safety through technology and design, page 4
- In this lesson, students will learn about car safety features and apply some of their new knowledge as they continue with their car designs.
