8th Grade Science - Rubber Band Cars

This week students have been creating rubber band cars (Zoom Machines).  This activity challenges the students to not only be creative, but to persevere through even when the car is not working properly and needs adjustments.  Stored up potential energy in the rubber band is being changed into kinetic energy to power the car a minimum of 3.1 meters.  Final car trials begin next week!
