Red Hot Racers- a School Journal article

Questions I Have from the text:

1. What does it mean when it says, “each student is absorbed by the challenge making a red hot racer”?

2. How would it get up to 100 km/h when the air canisters are so small?

3. How would they get the cars to have less friction so they go faster?

4. Does the fishing line slow the car down if the car started swerving?

5. Does it matter how long it is (the car is) and does it (length of the car) make it go faster or slower?

6. Could the air canister explode?

7. How would they be able to carve out the perfect shape for the car?

8. What was the point of them creating the red hot racers?

9. What did the students learn?

10. Would the car lift if it went really fast?

11. How long would air canister last before it runs out?

12. How much air could the CO2 canister hold?

13. How does the size of the wheels factor in how fast and far the car goes?

15. How did they get the cars to go so fast because looking at the size of the CO2 canister it looks really small?
16. What would happen if the car crashed?
