2. Young Scientist Develop Self-driving Car
Notes:
■ Have you ever attended or participated in a science fair?
■ How can anyone in the world do research, by using what?
■ What global problems are scientific innovators trying to solve?
■ 2.5 people die in car accidents each year. What scientific
innovation can bring the numbers down?
■ Would self-driving cars be safer for people to travel in?
In this lesson, we are going to have a chat about innovation.

5. Young Scientist Develop Self-driving Car
If you keep abreast of new developments, you’ll know
about the new self-driving car.
James totaled his car in an accident last night.
Angela is a whiz on the computer. She’ll walk away with the
first prize, you’ll see.
Francis won the competition fair and square. She came up
with the best solution.

6. Young Scientist Develop Self-driving Car
you were a computer scientist? What global
problem would you try to solve?
you were asked to be a judge at a science fair? How
would you judge which innovation should win?
you were offered money to buy a self-driving car?
What would you do if ……
