TeacherGeek® Rubber Band Racer Kit
Ready, steady, go! With the TeacherGeek® Rubber Band Racer, students harness energy (potential energy) stored in rubber bands to propel (releasing kinetic energy) their unique Rubber Band Racer designs. Free document resources enable students to build a racer vehicle and explore potential and kinetic energy, Newton's second law, mechanical advantage, and friction.
Watch students optimize their creations through the design and engineering process. Raid the recycling bin for novel materials to create innovative vehicles that go faster and farther. Students can imagine racing on Earth or across bumpy Martian craters—with the TeacherGeek® Rubber Band Racer, the possibilities are endless. Build once, tinker forever. Popular STEM/STEAM activity for classrooms, science fairs, or summer camps.
