Hilltop 4th graders are seen here after racing balloon cars they each created. After discussing energy, forces, and engineering design, students used what they had learned to create their own balloon cars. The goal was to determine whose car would go the farthest.
Aerodynamics, friction, and weight were just a few of the determining factors in the construction of their cars. (Information Provided)
