Rally Round the room!

Teams of students will explore the characteristics and motion of race cars as they are released from various heights on a ramp.   Once the students have collected data on their cars they will use what they know to go on a rally around the room putting their car through a variety of challenges.  
Later, the team will design a new challenge.  The challenge will be introduced to their fellow racers.  Other teams will experience the challenges and then rate each challenge on a variety of characteristics.  The “ultimate challenge” will be selected and the team who created the challenge will be awarded for their efforts and creativity.
