I believe that the vehicles we made in garry's mod can help by teaching people about the physics and how to use physics to build vehicles.

what I know about pbl

 I know that pbl can teach you how to present. When you get up there to talk about your project each time you get better and better. then when you get better at presenting it helps you get better at other things like standing in front of a crowd and talking to important people.
 
   I also know pbl can help you learn tons of things. Like if your doing a project on pigs it will help you allot more by testing and other things. you will also learn things like critical thinking and speech skills.

why pbl

because project based learning is a great way to learn in a great, fun way. Its when you make a project on something and then you learn allot about it.

today I watched a khan academy video on american history. I learned about how the British treated the Americans like they were just a ugly baby and sent troops after them and teased them allot. I also learned how the made the decoration of independence on 1729. I also learned that they purchased Louisiana and became twice as big. while I was watching khan academy I learned that Abraham Lincoln was elected in 1860. now you know what I learned today.
