Below we have pictures of the results of this project. Ms. Susan Sheppard, a MU Math Senior, assists three times each week. This overview of the three designs for the Slot Cars shows the resulting positions. The smaller wheeled vehicle went the farthest, but also went the slowest. As the wheel became larger the car went faster, but not as far.
Students measure carefully to have accurate data for their records.
Students had to divide to find the average distance travelled by each Slot Car. Students working to collect, record, and examine data for the three Slot Cars. Another view of the three Slot Cars. Students rechecked their data to make sure their data is correct.
