Car model science experiment… please give us your ideas?

Posted on April 10, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

My son is doing a science experiment consisting of building a self propelled car model (can be a rocket or some kind of other vehicle). The car model must travel 1.5 meters and stay within a couple of feet (it should not get off a straight course by much). His idea was to put wheels on a diet coke bottle and drop a couple of mentos in it to propel it. Again, it has to be self propelled (no running it down a ramp or anything).

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I know there are a lot of homework questions out there just trying to get out of their own homework, but this isn’t one of them. The work is in the experiment this time.

Thanks in advance for any insight!
Oh, and he is in 9th grade Physical Science. Thanks!

Mr. Alim’s science class launched a toy rocket from ground level with an initial upward velocity of 60 ft per second. The height ‘h’ of the rocket in feet above the ground after ‘t’ seconds is modeled by the equation h=60t-16t^2. How long was the rocket in the air before it returned to the ground?
