During the 2nd Semester of AP Physics 1, students learn about rotational dynamics and simple, direct current circuits. This project will focus on those two units and also give them real life experience with the engineering design process. Students will be required to submit regular milestone updates and give a presentation with three distinct design proposals. Each group will recommend one of their design proposals to build. After they have made their recommendation, they can begin constructing their cars. Each pair of students will be given one DC motor to use in their car and will have access to the soldering irons to make the electrical connections between the battery, switch, and motor. On the final day of the project, the cars will be tested for speed, ability to negotiate an incline, and durability. Each car must meet certain standards in each of these areas to receive a 100%, but the cars that perform the best in each area will receive bonus points.
