Wind Powered Car: Speed Challenge Lab
by Candice Nelson
In this investigation, 9th grade students will design and construct a car to test against classmates for the fastest car in the class. Students will test, collect data, calculate and share data with peers to graph class data and analyze for trends in speed. This is a three part investigation into motion and can be added into a motion unit or Newton's laws unit for Physics.
