  3. PacingTimeline and Extension (Unit 5) • The unit coversonly 10 ninety-minute blocks prescribed in the Physical Science Pacing Guide. • Additional time/activitiesassociatedwith the Wacky Race Car Project thatis not in the pacing guide: • 180 minutes willbespent on race car assembly/finishing • 90 minutes for the testing and evaluation of runnability or compatibility • Extended time of four ninety-minute blocks are required and takenfrom the next Unit 6 – Force and Energy

  4. Acquisition of Materialsand Logistics • Students must beinformed of the undertaking by November 08, 2010. • ApprovalLetter of the Project to be sent to school principal on week of November 01, 2010. • Studentswillshoulder for the cost of the project(they must contribute $2 - $5 per meeting startingNovember 15, 2010 to come up with a $20 for the costs of the kits).

  8. Applications • Wacky Race Cars must comply to the specifications of the CPO Science Ramp. • Races willbeconducted in the followingScienctific Investigation Activities: • Activity 2: Speed - Which Ramp is Fastest? • Activity 3: Position, Speed and Time Graphs - What kind of motion happens when an object rolls down a hill? • Activity 4: Friction: How does friction affect motion? • Activity5: Force and Acceleration-What happens when force is applied to an object? • Activity 6: Newton’s Second Law-How does acceleration depend on force and mass? • Students can modify or enhance their wacky race cars after every activity. • Teacher will monitor improvements for the title of the best wacky race car, best driver and other special awards.
