Balloon Powered Race Cars: Race Day
Today, we began to race our cars. I saw some really good models and others that could use some more time and effort. Thus, I will allow for over the weekend for kids to reconstruct their vehicles and race again on Monday. Those that raced today were given extra credit for preparedness. So, check out the rules (see Monday's post) and build the best car you can! Prizes for greatest distance covered, fastest car and coolest car. Check out Google Images: Balloon Powered Race Cars as well as YouTube for some great ideas.

Energy: Potential and Kinetic
In class today we discussed energy, the ability to do work. Energy can be divided into two categories.
Potential energy, stored energy based on position. Kinetic energy, the energy of movement. You can view the Prezi that has more specific information about energy below and access the worksheet as well. It is due tomorrow first thing and we will go over it in class. Also, on Thursday we will creating Balloon RaceCars. You must bring in your supplies and all cars will be created in class that day. Prizes will be awarded for fastest car, best looking car and the car that travels the greatest distance. So, start getting those creative juices flowing, I want to see some awesome cars!
