Students will participate in an activity on Friday to build an air-powered vehicle made of paper, straws, rubber bands, paperclips, a balloon, CD, and tape that must stay together and travel the furthest distance when released, applying the concept of aerodynamics. The document provides instructions that the vehicle must be aerodynamic, not fall apart or lose parts like the gas tank, and only be released without throwing, pushing, or shoving to go down the track. Materials needed for each student are listed.

Aerodynamics- The ability to displace air in a quick
manner.
Example: Which would go faster?
Guinea pig V Today's’ Friday Activity!
To create an air powered vehicle that will go the
furthest distance possible while applying the definition of Aerodynamics. Key ideas to remember: Make sure your vehicle is aerodynamic! Make sure that your vehicle doesn’t fall apart! (it must stay together!) Your gas tank must stay with the rest of your vehicle! You should only have to release your device! NO THROWING, PUSHING OR SHOVING THE VEHICLE! Your materials! • 1 person • 1- 11”x17” Sheet of paper • 2 straws • 2 rubber bands • 2 paperclips • 1 Balloon • 1 CD • @ 2 ½’ of Tape • 1 pair of scissors
