Create your own 4-wheel balloon cars with simple household items and race them across the floor.

Make your own 2-wheel, air-power cars and race them or play games with them. Balloons and straws are them main components.

Students will design, build, and race balloon-powered cars in this fun lesson plan that teaches about engineering design and kinetic and potential energy.

[Free Registration/Login Required] A literary text about a boy named Mario who makes a ramp while playing with his race cars. A question sheet is available to help students build skills in reading comprehension.

Players must choose the mathematical expression with the highest value to win. Tests understanding of basic arithmetic skills involving the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers.

Students learn how the aerodynamics and rolling resistance of a car affect its energy efficiency through designing and constructing model cars out of simple materials. As the little cars are raced down a tilted track (powered by gravity)...

Check out this simulation of kinematics. Test a race car with a constant acceleration versus a race car with constant velocity.

Test your math vocabulary for properties of operations in this online car racing game.

With this resource students review division while playing this multi-player learning game. Student power their car by answering the division problems correctly. The speed of the car is determined by how fast the learner answers the problem.

Apply forces to a race car in order to drive a lap around an oval track. The track becomes narrower with each of the three levels. Horizontal and vertical velocities are displayed, allowing students to make wise choices regarding the...

Get your race car to the finish line by answering the multiplication problems.

FunBrain's easy addition facts game lets players race cars, fueled by correct answers, around a track.

Turning the corners is the limiting process for racing cars. Going straight is simply about speed, but making the turns faster than other cars is a real challenge. In this activity, we ask how does weight balance affect the turn radius...

Students use engineering design principles to construct and test a fully solar powered car. Several options exist, though we recommend the "Junior Solar Sprint" (JSS) Car Kits that can be purchased with direction from the federal...

For race car engineers, F = m a, is the backbone of the vast majority of calculations. The selection of gear ratios is one example. Investigate and create a mathematical model for the relationship between force, speed, mass, distance and...

In this activity, you will create a picture of time and speed as they relate to changes in the weight of a radio controlled race car. This picture will be a graph - a mathematical model- that allows to you predict the speed of your radio...

On your mark. Get set. Go! Test your knowledge of division facts with this exciting multi-player race car game. Your car's speed is determined by how fast you find the quotients.

Since running a race car is VERY expensive, race engineers know a great deal about how speed, time and distance relate. In this activity, you will investigate the relationship between distance traveled, speed and elapsed time. You will...

Learners are presented with two cars that have different constant speeds and that will race each other. They then determine which object will win the race, as well as how much time elapses between the objects crossing the finish line.

Work output from any process comes at a price. That price is the energy input required to drive the process. A fact of reality (also called the Second Law of Thermodynamics) is that the input energy is always greater than the output...

A design challenge through which students design and construct a solar-powered model car to compete in a road race. Students work in teams using the engineering design process to select the optimal gear ratio and components.

Since its first race in 1975, the Grand Prix Association of Long Beach has grown into a multi-dimensional organization dedicated to bring the best in motorsports to Southern California. This site has news, schedules, and racing information.
