Egg Race and Crash Track

Fun Experiment to Illustrate Motion and Dynamics

Design and build a paper car to protect your “Humpty Dumpty” from harm. Students use knowledge of momentum and friction to construct a vehicle that maximizes performance while cradling an egg and keeping it in one piece. Using the included racetrack, students test their models with a speed race and crash test. The winner of the race achieves the fastest speed without having to put “Humpty Dumpty” back together again.
Includes materials for building cars, racetrack, and instructions.
