Class Response

In science class, we have been working with cars. these cars are gravity powered vehicles that we built our selves. Even though building a car can be hard, it's worth it in the end. The funniest part of working with these vehicles was when everybody brought their cars in and presented them. That's because of course, every person is unique so every car is unique. Some cars were small, and some were big. There were a few that looked like ordinary cars, and others were abstract. When I say abstract, I mean that they looked absolutely nothing like real cars. except for the fact that they had wheel. You could find cars made out of water bottles, soda cans, and shoe boxes. There were also very odd wheels. A lot of people made them out of C.Ds and other people made them out of cardboard and paper. Other people found old plastic wheels or little junk items they found around their houses to construct wheels. After all the cars were turned in, we started running them down the ramps that were built. I enjoyed watching them go down. Some of them didn't even get down the ramp! Other cars went to the very end of the classroom. My car got off the ramp, but it didn't go very far. But still, it was fun to laugh at my own creation! Oh, I forgot to mention why we were even using cars in the first place! Well, we were learning about motion, forces, and many other things in our physics unit, and we used cars to help us learn about them. I never realized how interesting physics can be until now!
