Physical Science: Hot Wheels Speedometry

 I just added this link for Hot Wheels Speedometry to the last post.  We keep a box of tracks, cars, and launchers in the basement just for intro, speed labs.  

1. How Hot are Your Hot Wheels?

2. Hot Wheels Hustle

3. Measure Speed and Motion

Rob and I have done outreach with the Hot Wheels track, launchers, and cars.  The kids learn the fundamentals of speed.  You don’t need to complicate things.

GoPro and Hot Wheels Car allows kids to grab video.  Rob uses the car, Go Pro Hero Session 5 and Hot Wheels track for Physics.  You can buy both the car and GoPro Hero on eBay. The Angry Bird car works extremely well on the track.
