Come and build a rubber band car and then test to see if you can go the distance. In this activity students will use basic math skills to calculate the distance of their vehicle traveled while challenging class mates to see who really can go the distance.This is an awesome activity for the transportation unit in College & Career Awareness or an Introduction to Technology class. This activity is definitely one that won't run out of gas as it travels to their home when the unit is completed.
