JAM Session: Fruit and Veggie Cars
Do your parents tell you not to play with your food? Most of the time, that is good advice! Sometimes, though, there are activities and experiments you can do that encourage you to do the opposite…like building a vehicle out of food! You’ve probably done friction experiments with moving objects before, but this experiment is pretty unique.
You will design and build your own racing “cars” using different kinds of fruits and vegetables. You get to choose which ones you think will work best for different components of your car. What would work best for wheels? How will you make an axle? Finally, you will test your cars on ramps with different surfaces.
