Class Procedure-
Students draw the layout of the air racer. Once all parts have been drawn, students cut the parts out. Next, students design their air racer.
Lab Procedure- Students use the box and pan break to fold their parts. The air racer is assembled using hot glue. The brad is then attached to launch the air racer.
Purpose-
This is a great project that helps develop measuring skills as well as drafting skills. Accuracy is crucial for this project to work correctly.
