Race Day!

 Today was race day here in the Science Wing!  There was some great improvements made to the cars over the weekend!  Nice work.  After the races were over, we had a follow up worksheet over the race and the concepts covered.  The link is below to the worksheet.  Remember, we NEED HOT WHEELS STRAIGHT TRACK for this week's lab.

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 Presentations

     In class today, we finished our group work on energy forms and then presented them to the class.       Tomorrow you need to have your supplies for your balloon race cars in hand!  We will build them tomorrow.  The race is Friday!  See Monday's post for details about the Balloon Racers if you forgot the materials list and/or details.
