8p5-hot wheels

Make sure you have your video of a project

• Using the hot wheels track pieces_, I created a track because to see how gravity affects the car. also to see if the car would go through loops and the track without falling off.

• During this process, I learned that the height affects the speed and how far a car will go with hot wheels.

• 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 Computational thinker because i found that the problem was that the car didn't want to go through the loops do to speed and i solved the problem from starting the car up higher so it would have enough speed to go through the track.

• A challenge I overcame on this project was speed. I was able to do it by adjusting the height and figuring out how high it had to be.

• Given a chance to do this again, I would change speed. The reason why I would change it is because it needs to stay on the track and maintain speed.
