LEGO Creation Station

Project of the Month
Build a car that is powered by a rubber band.

 rubber band car

Note:  The gear in the back is used only as a catch for the rubber band to help it start wrapping around the axle. The bushing on the axle at the very front is to loop the rubber band around.

Questions:

  • How does the length or width of rubber band change how far the car can travel?
  • Why does having the rubber band come loose when it unwinds help the car continue to travel?
  • What is inertia?
  • How far did your car travel?

Take a picture and send it to us and we will post it on our website.
