Fruit and Veggie Derby

Samuel's class capped off their unit on simple machines with a fruit and veggie derby. Their task was to build cars out of a total of 3 fruits/vegetables, skewers and rubber bands and then race them down an inclined plan to see which car went the furthest distance.

After the first race, the kids got to reconfigure their cars and see if they could make it better. Here is Samuel's best race.....

Unfortunately, it was not as successful as he would have liked, but he had a fun time building a car!
