Design and Technology Year 10 Pre-Engineering

This lesson Mr Ward introduced us to the Pre-Engineering assignment. In this assignment we have to make a small vehicle that can move down a small, straight track that is 8.4m long. We have to have the car going as fast as possible as it will be racing the rest of the classes cars. We are learning a lot about what makes these little cars go faster and taking into account many different aspects that could slow it down. We have to think and research about Friction, Velocity, Kinetic Energy and materials. The whole class gets the same materials and have the same tools to work with. I am excited for this unit and think I will really enjoy it as we are back in the workshop.
