Description

You will not be sufficiently old to drive, but that doesn’t mean you’ll be able to’t satisfy your need for speed. Writer and physics teacher Bobby Mercer shows how to use mousetraps, rubber bands, chemical reactions, gravity, and air pressure to power fast-moving vehicles. Every of the 25 easy-to-build racecars is constructed for little or no cost the usage of recycled and repurposed materials. Retrofit a toy car with a model plane propeller to make an air-powered Prop Car. Turn a potato chip can, a rubber band, and weights into a Chip-Can Dancer. Or use an effervescent tablet in a small canister as an impressive rocket engine for a Mini Pop Car. Every project in The Racecar Book contains a materials list and detailed step by step instructions with photos for simple assembly. Mercer also includes explanations of the science at the back of Every racecar, including concepts such as friction, Newton’s laws of motion, kinetic and potential energy, and more. These projects are ideal for science fairs or design competitions, or just having fun!
