Racer Ideas and Plan

1. What do you like about your initial design? I like that it’s different and how the wheels look like a real cars wheels.

2. What has been challenging about the initial design? We did it in 5 minutes because our other one didn’t work so we had to figure out quickly how to power it with rubber bands.

3. How well did your racer perform in the first race? Did it go far? Fast? It only moved a few inches because it didn’t work.

4. How will you modify your design for the second race? What variables do you feel will affect how far and fast the racer goes? Why? I would make it more sturdy because it broke and I would change how we launch it because it broke when we launched it.

5. What have been your strengths and challenges during the design process? My partner and I agreed on a design and we work well together. Some challenges have been making sure it’s rubber band powered because we had a perfect design but we couldn’t rubber band power it.

6. What questions do you have? How can we make it move with a rubber band but make the wheels move? How can we make a racer with only 2 wheels.

  1. Hi OC,
    It’s nice to see what you did in science class. Even though you said your race perform wasn’t very good, it seemed like you had a lot of fun! Thanks for sharing.
