Slot Cars

January 10, 2011

Slot cars is a LEGO math project from the LEGO AIMS book Brick Layers II.

We are testing the differences in the distance traveled using a falling weight
when the diameter of the bobbin on the wheel axles is made larger.


The strings are all the same length.
The larger diameter car goes fast and a short distance.
The smallest goes slower and far.
