Ready, Steady, Go! Use the energy stored in rubber bands to power and propel your very own Rubber Band Racer. One of TeacherGeek's most popular activities, these racers are excellent for elementary and secondary age groups. Build your own Rubber Band Racer, then explore the difference between potential and kinetic energy, simple machines, friction, elasticity and ratios in our optional Labs, Worksheets and Engineering Challenges. Evolve your creation using the Design & Engineering Process, raiding the recycling bin for additional materials for unique vehicles that go faster and farther. Easily redesign new configurations. Build once, tinker forever.
