Room 2 - Physicists - Electric Car Convention





Today we built and experimented with cardboard electric cars.  We turned into scientists and shared our claims and findings with our scientific community (our classmates).   Our big question was How might we make our car go as fast as possible for as long as possible.  We briefly talked about the safety rules we needed to follow and then we set off making our own cardboard electric cars.  Here are a few photos taken while we were creating...






After we'd had a bit of time to create we tested our creations to see how far they were able to move.  We discovered that some of our designs needed a bit of extra help and that some needed to be modified in order for them to work.    Here are a few photos of our final creations... 




We talked and shared as a scientific community about what we had discovered and thought carefully about what we might test again if we had time.  Here are a few of the notes about what we discussed...
