7th Grade - Let's go CO2 car Racing!!

 An incredible amount of time and effort went into this project and the picture below shows the great results. 

The best part.......that's not even all of them. 

7th Grade Design Process CO2 project will be racing in two weeks

 

To 7th graders

Great job to all students who are creating their CO2 car. Using the design process the students have created a variety of ideas. In the picture below you can see (front) completed cars, cars being assembled, car that have been primed but need final painting and assembly.  Then there is the large group of car bodies needing priming, painting and final assembly.  No matter what, the students are doing a great job and I can't wait to see how fast their designs will go. 

Good Luck to all designers.
