Room 5 - CO2 Cars



These cars are made out of balsa wood.  I can't wait until we race them.  Who will be the fastest?

A huge thank you to Marty Dean who is come back for a second year as a helper.  We couldn't do it with out you.

FIRST - learning to use the tools safely.  The Carrot Car Challenge.  Can you make a car out of one carrot and two kebab sticks?  The car must have all four wheels that turn on axles to run successfully down a ramp.




























The Winners!

Once wheels were on it was ready to race!!


 Setting up the track took ages!  A big thank you to Marty, David, Craig, and Luke.  Below is the launcher all ready to roll. A BIG THANK YOU TO Phillipa Dick/ Hatch for hiring us the launcher.
