STEM potential energy elastic cars.

18th Feb 2025

The boys and girls from 6th class were learning about potential and kinetic energy.  With the help of some Transition Year students the pupils engineered some elastic band powered cars.  When the elastic band is wound round the back axle of the car some potential energy is stored.  When the car is released it moves forward with kinetic energy.  Have a look at our forecourt full of cars and watch some videos of the cars and drivers in action.
