You explored an interesting engineering problem by testing how different materials protect a car during a crash. Your model clearly showed differences between padding, tires, and a water barrier, and the graph helped communicate your results effectively. The experiment connected a real-world safety challenge to a hands-on investigation in a creative way.
What stood out most was your effort to think like an engineer and test solutions to improve safety rather than just observe a problem. You showed curiosity about how design choices affect real outcomes, and that problem-solving mindset is a strong foundation for future investigations.
