Dragsters are an exciting method to teach metrics and the design process. Students design and build a prototype and then produce an actual CO2-powered dragster and race it! An illustrated, self-directed student workbook holds the students' attention as they learn step-by-step automotive-design processes.
Learning Values:- Science: Newton’s laws; Modeling; Aerodynamics; And Friction.
- Technology: Design processes; Finishing; Troubleshooting; And Problem-solving.
- Engineering: Engineering design; Prototyping; And Energy and power systems.
- Math: Metric measurements; Tolerances; And Calculating speed.
Please note: Assembly requires a drill, coping saw, wood file or rasp, ruler, scissors, finish, and a race system (not included).
