CCS 5th Grade Class Prove Newton's 3rd Law of Motion

Posted

Mrs. Rita Turner's 5th grade class at CCS has been studying Newton's Third Law of Motion and were able to prove the concept with a recent project. Each student was required to build a balloon-powered race car of recycled materials. Each race car had to travel at least 5 meters and could only be powered with one balloon. The racer could be made out of anything, but had to have 3 - 4 wheels which must be from non-typical materials. Students were awarded prizes based on design and distance.
