Critter Cars

Simple supplies communicate complex concepts in this fun, creative learning kit.

• Build cars with simple supplies
• Understand energy conversion and friction
• Creative and engaging

Students build cars with foam bowls as the base and wound rubber bands as propellers, then watch as the hand-made vehicles convert potential to kinetic energy. Using their imaginations to decorate each car, students will enjoy the imaginative task and better appreciate and understand the demonstration of energy conversion and friction.

Creative and engaging, this kit assists students in building cars from simple supplies that illustrate the change of potential to kinetic energy. Includes materials for 25 students and instructions. Grades 5–9.
