Elastic Energy Propelled Car
This lesson focuses on developing an understanding of forms of energy and energy transfer/transformation within the system of a rubber band powered car. Students will construct a car using soda bottles and will plan and carry out an investigation. Students will demonstrate understanding through models, data analysis and developing a conclusion. They will use the CER method to provide evidence and reasoning for their answer to the testable question.
