They are a few photos from our recent DT project – Constructing a slingshot car. The children have used their understanding of air resistance to design and construct their own car to race against each other. They built their own chassis and created the body of the car using nets. We then turned the classroom into a racetrack and the children recorded the time it took for their car to cross the finish line. We even had a ceremony to celebrate the children who had designed the fastest moving cars. In true Formula 1 style, we listened to the national anthem of the winner however,  no champagne was sprayed!
