Directions: Welcome to the module of Co2-Powered Dragsters. In the module, design principles will be used to build a CO2-powered dragster. The CO2 dragster will then be tested not only against vehicles made by classmates, but against the clock. Awards will be given in various categories for the construction phase and the performance of the dragsters.
This module contains many daily lessons. The lessons are created in a specific order, with objectives and procedures to follow. The success of this project will depend on if you follow this format.
