Week #1 - Co2 Car Background
Your assignment this week is to begin research on how to create a CO2 car. You will eventually be 3D modeling your very own design as well as racing virtually against your class.
For this week please watch this video on how to sign in to WhiteBox Learning: https://youtu.be/9iUisG7Qak0
Complete the following research activities:
Engineering Design Process
Background
Background Quiz
Newton's Second Law
Motion Quiz
Week #2 - Whitebox Learning "Worksheets"
Your assignment this week is to finish your research on how to create a CO2 car. Next week we will begin 3D modeling your cars!
For this week please watch this video on how to sign in to WhiteBox Learning (if you haven't logged in yet):
Complete the following research activities:
Mass
Mass Worksheet
Drag Force
Drag Force Quiz
Week #3 - Modeling your Co2 Car
Your assignment for this week will be to 3D model your CO2 cars and complete Level 1 of the Dragster 2.0 program. You can either watch the YouTube videos below OR read the Microsoft Word files to learn how to model and RACE your car against other students.
Only worry about completing Level 1 this week.
Since this is new to everyone the assignment will be due by the end of next week. That will give you plenty of time to become familiar with the program and watch all of the tutorials.
Good luck making the fastest car and I hope you all have fun RACING EACH OTHER VIRTUALLY!

Week #4 - Leveling Up and Editing your Car's Features
Since we are still working hard on learning about computer modeling you will again have two weeks to work on this assignment and it will be at the end of the week. That will give you plenty of time to continue to develop your 3D modeling skills.
Good luck making the fastest car and I hope you all have fun RACING EACH OTHER VIRTUALLY!
