8P6- Hot wheel track

Using hot wheel tracks and cars, I created a hot wheel track, because we wanted to see how many loops will work on the track. Another thing was that we wanted to do something that involves teamwork.

During this process, I learned how to do a loop with hot wheels. I also learned how to get the perfect speed so it doesn't go to fast but not too slow. One last thing that my partner and I learned is to use teamwork to make a track.

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 empowered learner because we made it how we wanted. and we designed it how we wanted.

A challenge I overcame on this project was getting the car to do a loop. I was able to do it by have just right amount of speed the track and do a lot of practice runs. Another challenge was keeping a good speed so we don't over shoot the track.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change the size of the project and the speed of the car. The reason why I would change it is because the size of the track was pretty medium we also felt that the car was not moving super fast.
