For Technology and Enterprise, the students had to use the knowledge they have gained in Science this term about how things move to create a race track using recycled materials. The students had to test their race tracks, to see who could make a toy car roll the furthest. Below are some photos of the students testing their race tracks. Congratulations to Lovyn, whose race track made his car roll the furthest.
