Solar Car Incursion

In Anticipation
Today we are going to be focusing on solar cars through out the day on our science project "Power".

Questions
1. I'm hoping to learn about how the solar cars are made of to go reasonably fast on streets in the future.
2. I hope there going to tell us on how it's going to work in the pitch black.
3. I  want to know were the solar panels are going to go on the solar car.
4. I wonder if there going to tell us on how long it took to make one solar car.
5. What colour will be safest for the solar car.
6. How fast can it go on it's max level of solar power.



Reflection

What I did?
Today all of year 5 went to the hall in the morning to look at what we were doing that day. After we were in the hall we went to recess. On the playground the playground was the solar car made by Sun Swift. All of the year 5 classes were looking at the solar car. Once recess was finished 5B and 5J went to look at the car. They told us about how fast it goes, how heavy it is, what materials it was made of and how much room was inside of the car. Then we went to the presentation on what each car does. There was a Scout who was 10-15 minutes in front of all the other cars, Lead who did all of the navigation and made sure that the solar car took the right turns, Solar Car had to just mind his own business. Media who can take photos along the way, Cavalry and the Trailer.
Then we made our own solar cars and raced them. There was many people wanting to be first. There was many close calls and wins by far most importantly everyone had fun.
