Start Your Engines
Students will conduct an experiment, and create box-and-whisker plots to examine the role of reaction times in automobile racing .
Math 8, Algebra I General Science

Shape UP Students will investigate various
shaped cars, and race them to determine how the shape of a car body can be manipulated in order to minimize air resistance.
Math 6-8 Physical Science

Bank on It Students will research race track data
in order to create a scatterplot that examines the relationship between speed and degree of track banking.
Math 6-8, Algebra I, Geometry General Science, Physics

Facts on Friction Students will investigate different tire
compositions. Probeware will be used to determine the force of friction for two different tire compounds and a simulated racetrack. The amount of the static and kinetic friction, as well as the percent of change between these forces, will be analyzed to see which compound would be more appropriate for NASCAR racing.
Math 8, Pre-Algebra Physical Science

Forces in Racing
Students will investigate types of forces in auto racing. Formulas are derived and Centripetal Force is explored through experimentation.

Building to Scale
Students will work with proportions to create a scale model of a racecar.
