Eighth Grade TECHNOLOGY
The Racecar activity overview:
The air compressed racecar demonstrates the principles of aerodynamics and Newton's Laws of Motion. Each student designs and constructs their own racecar. Math, Science and Technology principles are learned by designing, constructing and testing the racecars. Each class has a competition to see who can create the fastest car and who can create the best designed car. Students must follow certain specifications to qualify for the class race.
These are the results of the first year of SALEM student racecar competition. Each years results will be added to this page.
