Wind racer planning - science

My team members -Georgia and I

The aim of this is to make a wind racer to beat our classmates 

Equipment - 

Trolley, cardboard, tape, paper, string, scissors 

Our idea is to use paper to make a triangle going against the wind to catch as much wind as possible. The more wind we catch the faster the wind racer will go and the further it'll move. We will need to make a thin tube of paper to make a stem up the top of the trolley to tape the paper wings to it.

Method:

1. screw the pole from the clamp stand into the chassis

2. tape the strips of cardboard to the outer part of the paper sail for strength

3. create a name and design for your wind racer and draw it onto the sail

 4. attach the sail to the poll and tape it well. 

5. Race 

Our trolley 0.8 metres per second
