Do you have an empty water bottle lying around?  Before you decide to recycle that bottle, you can give it life as a bottle racer.  In this engineering activity, you will learn how to turn an ordinary empty water bottle into a rolling machine propelled by energy generated from a rubber band.  We will demonstrate two main types of energy in the process: potential and kinetic.  Rubber bands store a special type of potential energy, called elastic energy.  If you’ve ever used a slingshot before, you know the power of elastic energy!

Tickets go on sale 9:00 am 8/24/24
