Timeline for project

  • Wednesday: Learning about momentum, continue finding parts for your car at home.

  • Friday: Build day 2: Today you will need to test your rough draft car to ensure it makes it five meters. You can also tweek your design as needed.
  • Monday: Learning about momentum. You can work on your car outside of class if needed.
