Miller Elementary
Calibrating Pull Back Car
December 8, 2003

The goal for today is to place marks on the card on the cars so that three exact distances can be traveled.


This flag and tree are going to go up at the LEGO City.


The farther the rubber band is pulled back the farther the car goes.
The hard part is to be able to go a particular distance.

Marks are put for the correct spot for 1 foot, 2 feet, and 3 feet.

Calibration is having a scale marked so that given distances can be traveled reliably repeatable.
