Recyclable Racers

  Seventh grade science classes build Recyclable Racers every spring to test the laws of physics and experiment with gravity and motion.  Students are asked to build small cars that are gravity powered to race on a ramp. The fastest car built is rewarded!  A perfect balance between design and mass must be struck to win the race.  Here are some photos of some of this year’s designs:

 

 

This years fastest car belongs to Camryn H.
