Lesson: Rubber Band Racers

Posted on May 22nd, 2011 by Mary Lord

Rubber Bands In this activity, teams of students 8 – 18 learn about engineering design by constructing rubber-band-powered cars from everyday materials that can travel in a straight line for a distance of at least 3 meters within a 1 meter wide track. They test their rubber-band racers, evaluate their results, and present to the class.
