How the sail was held up – was it secure enough?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nWith Mrs Smith, the class have been working on their measuring skills and these skills were put into good use for this task!\u00a0 There were lots of helpful pupils who were keen to read how far each car had travelled.\u00a0 Very accurate measuring from all!<\/p>\n
All of the cars moved when wind energy was provided, even if just a little bit.\u00a0 However, the most successful wind powered car travelled a massive 1m 80cm!<\/p>\n
Even when things didn’t go to plan, it didn’t matter!\u00a0 We had fun watching the results and learning from the process.\u00a0 This car was even pushed over by the wind!<\/p>\n
