Evidence of Effectiveness & Evaluation Answer all questions a. What specific need will this contractor address and how will the contractor's performance be measured and monitored to ensure that the need is met? This service engages students in project-based learning through hands-on learning experiences. Essential Experiments are lessons more likely to find in a workshop or a studio than in a classroom. They prepare young minds for selecting a deep understanding of ideas encountered in the world. All projects will be assessed through a rubric. With each of the experiments, materials are handed out and instructions given to construct and understand the goal and topic. Time is given to explore, build, test and re-test. For example, one of the experiments we might offer is the Rubber band Car. Inspired by a spring car design of Xxxxxxxx xx Xxxxx, students are given materials to construct a simple car: a chassis, 2 axles, 4 screw eyes, rubber bands, and four wheels. Everyone has exactly the same materials. But why, when we begin to test the cars, does everyone's car perform differently?
