The Challenge:
Apply knowledge of Newton's laws of motion, momentum, and energy to design and construct a vehicle that will go as far as possible using an unbalenced force to create motion.

Rules:
  • Construct a vehicle that can travel at least three tiles. Vehicle must stay within a 2-tile wide path.
  • No FORWARD force may be applied to the vehicle by the student.
  • Vehicle must be made of recyled/ reused products. No pre-made vehicle parts.
  • Vehicle must travel using an unbalenced force to create motion.
  • Students are not allowed to help vehicle along the path.
  • Students may not use electricity/fuel cells or manufactured containers or pressurized gas (ie. CO). This is a land vehicle. All vehicles start from a level surface (no ramps or walls). All parts of the vehicle must remain on the vehicle, except fuel.
