I'm working on this project a group. Eli, Kyle, and I.
We will need hot wheels cars, hot wheels tracks, and two flat surface at different heights.
Our plan is to first set up the track connecting the two surfaces we are using. Then, we will let the cars go down the track at different angles. Finally, we will record each angle of the car going down the track.
What will separate our project from other peoples projects is, our project will have loop-loops at the end and at the lower surface of the track.
Using hot wheels, I created track because you can't have hot wheels without a track.
During this process, I learned how to make a car go down a track at a 90 degree angle and go through a loop-loop.
The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to Knowledge Constructor because I used what I knew about angles to create a track that lets a car go down at a 90 degree angle and go through a loop-loop.
A challenge I overcame on this project was not letting the car fall. I was able to do it by adjusting the angle of the track.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change the number of loop-loops. The reason why I would change it is because there were so many loop-loops that the car couldn't ever make all the way down the track.
Hastings High School Career and Technical Education Program offers Agriculture, Business Management, Computer Programming, Construction Trades, Culinary Arts, Digital Multimedia, Engineering Design, Finance, Insurance, Marketing. My project connects to the Engineering Design CTE program at Hastings High School. My project connects to careers in machinery.
Day 2
IMG_0013.MOVThis is the video of the track too step meaning the car can't go down because the tracks at a angle where the car can't go down, also the angle of the track is forcing the track to bend backwards.
Day 2
IMG_0012.MOVThis is the video of the track at a good angle, making it possible for the car to go down the track without falling off, as you saw in the other video.
Day 3
This is a picture of the final track. It shows two different tracks in one, but both start at the same spot. The one with loop-loops is showing how much speed the car really has, if it goes all the way through it has a lot of speed, if it doesn't it has little speed in that case we try and figure out what went wrong. Same with the one on the top, little speed we figure out why, a lot of speed it's ok and we move onto the next car.
