Camp: The physics of Car design
Which car will go faster?
Which car will go further?
Which car can push an obstacle further?
To find the answers to these questions and more BUILD, RACE, and LEARN! Join this camp to build a variety of cars, race them, and discover the concepts of friction, inertia, momentum, energy, and center of gravity. In this camp kids will build one car every day and test the effects of changing wheels, mass, shape, and source of energy of these cars. Kids will use an iterative process of building and racing to design their favorite cars.
Two cars with different propellers
Thin slender propeller
Wide shorter propeller
Camp: Fans, windmills, airplanes
Will the slender thin (orange) propeller blow more air?
Will the wide (blue) propeller work better?
How do windmills work? How are they related to airplanes?
Join this camp to test a variety of propeller shapes, test them, and discover the concepts of aero-dyna-mics. In this camp children will attach a propeller to an existing car or boat every day and test the effects of changing the fans, the speed of the fans, shape of the vehicle, and sources of energy for these propellers. Kids will use an iterative process of building and racing to identify their winning design.
