Racing Car Race Game

[Adelaida Frodge]

Iintroduced the wheel and axle simple machine by teaching my students how a wheel and axle functions to move a heavy load. We discussed several examples of this machine such as a wheelbarrow, race car, rolling trash can, semi-truck and bicycle.

Since my students learn so much better from hands-on activities, I had them construct a race car using a wheel and axle simple machine. First, I passed out a straw, buttons, string and a clothespin to each table group and asked them to brainstorm how they could use these materials to build a race car. After sharing their ideas with a partner, they recorded their ideas on their brainstorming worksheets. I loved seeing how they used the materials and drew elaborate images of how they wanted their cars to look.

The best part of the day was definitely when we tested out our cars by racing two cars down a ramp! It was so much fun to make predictions and draw conclusions about why some cars were faster than other cars.

To conclude the two day lesson, we wrote about our race cars and all the fun we had! I gave my students the option of writing either a how-to piece about how they built or raced their race cars, or they could write an opinion piece about the best thing about their race cars. I loved seeing how motivated each student was to write since they had so much to say about the topic.

After they wrote about their cars, I gave out awards to the students who showed effort in making their cars. It was such a fun day that my students could not stop talking about ALL WEEK! If you would like to try making race cars with your own students, be sure to check out my Wheel and Axle Simple Machine resource from my TpT store! I hope your little scientists have lots of fun learning about the wheel and axle simple machine!

Aprilia Racing has developed a dedicated ECU for the RS660 for track use. The advance and injection map is dedicated to a full racing exhaust and the electronic management of the intervention parameters and of the control systems, is recalibrated for the specific use in closed circuit. These new calibrations allow extreme banking angles without triggering an invasive response from the control systems, which may still be set from the switchgear on the handlebar. The reduced engine braking effect allows faster, smoother braking. The Marelli Racing ECU has been specifically reprogrammed for this application, and the new map differs from the standard production one, as follows:

Auto racing (also known as car racing, motor racing,[1] or automobile racing) is a motorsport involving the racing of automobiles for competition. In North America, the term is commonly used to describe all forms of automobile sport including non-racing disciplines.

Auto racing has existed since the invention of the automobile. Races of various types were organized, with the first recorded as early as 1867. Many of the earliest events were effectively reliability trials, aimed at proving these new machines were a practical mode of transport, but soon became an important way for automobile makers to demonstrate their machines. By the 1930s, specialist racing cars had developed.

The first prearranged match race of two self-powered road vehicles over a prescribed route occurred at 4:30 A.M. on August 30, 1867, between Ashton-under-Lyne and Old Trafford, England, a distance of 8 mi (13 km). It was won by the carriage of Isaac Watt Boulton.[2]

Internal combustion auto racing events began soon after the construction of the first successful gasoline-fueled automobiles. The first organized contest was on April 28, 1887, by the chief editor of Paris publication Le Vlocipde, Monsieur Fossier.[3] It ran 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from Neuilly Bridge to the Bois de Boulogne.
