Mrs. Alison Preuniger's Physics class competed in a Human-Powered Vehicle Race on Tuesday, April 13th. The objective of the project is to design and build a human powered vehicle. This gives the students experience with applied physics problems.
Each six weeks during the year they have had to design and build something that had a particular function and follows guidelines that she gives them (size, materials used, budget, etc).
The human powered vehicle is their final, ultimate, full size project of the year. Most of their class work involves learning terms and using mathematical formulas. The projects allow them to apply their physics knowledge to a “real” problem.
The students did a great job - check out the pictures!!!!
