Basswood Dragster Kit (Co2) - Includes Instructions and Parts to Design, Build, and Race

• Carbon-dioxide (Co2) dragster kit — provides a hands-on activity to design, build, and race a model Co2 dragster that demonstrates the scientific concepts of aerodynamics, motion, drag, and friction.
• Includes one 12" Basswood blank (pre-drilled for Co2 cartridge), one Co2 cartridge, one Styrofoam blank (for prototyping), two front + two rear spoke wheels, four axle washers, two steel axles, two screw eyes, one sandpaper sheet, and one piece of graph paper. Also comes with step-by-step instructions for building a metric Co2 dragster.
• Includes all parts for building a dragster and a lightweight basswood body blank that you or a student (grades 6-12) can shape with basic cutting, shaving, or sanding tools for creativity and individuality in the design process.
• Includes expanded polystyrene foam blank to allow you / your student to create a prototype body shape.
• This kit teaches automotive design processes and reinforces engineering, technology, and math concepts as students design and builds an efficient model dragster.

The Basswood dragster kit provides you or a student in grades 6-12 a hands-on activity to design, build, and race a model carbon-dioxide (Co2) dragster that demonstrates the scientific concepts of aerodynamics, motion, drag, and friction. The foam blank allows you or a student to experiment with creating a prototype body shape before shaping the wood block. The wood block can be shaped with basic cutting, shaving, or sanding tools for creativity and individuality in the design process. The kit reinforces engineering, technology, and math concepts as students design and builds an efficient model dragster. A model dragster kit is typically used in an educational setting to demonstrate engineering, aerodynamics, and physics.

Some tools you may need: drill, a coping saw, a wood file or rasp, a ruler, scissors, finish or paint, and a race system (all sold separately).
