The Great Car Race

On the ninth of August 2010 Totara syndicate had the Great Car Race. They all had to be powered by one rubber band only. Every teacher from the syndicate choose two people to enter. From our class Jonathan choose Max and Bianca. (Hers was really good!) We all packed into Trinity hall in two lines with a gap for the cars. First was Cameron, then Ella T, some other people and then I could see Bianca looking very confident. She put her car down and... 13.64 meters!!! Yay! Everybody was cheering so loud! Bianca won! Yay! :) She looked embarrassed but Dave looked amazed! Kids still cheering loud.
My opinion is I thought it was a fun experience!
I learnt that you can use just one rubber band to power a whole car and how to transfer potential energy into kinetic energy.
