Totara rubberband car race!

On the start of term 3, room 7 started making some rubber band cars in our groups. We had 3 or 4 weeks to finish our cars, then on Monday the 9/8/10 the whole syndicate went into the Trinity hall to show how far their cars went. The best out of our class was Bianca and Max's group. All the kids that were participating looked so nervous, because they didn't know how far theirs would go. I was sitting next to Lauren, we were cheering on Bianca's car, because we already knew how far her one went. Bianca's best one out of the three attempts, was 13 metres 64 centimetres . The other ones that were participating in the race got so far, but not as far as Bianca's one. After the race, everyone had to quickly get into their assembly lines. Dave congratulated Bianca for how she won the race. Bianca made her car at home, and she had really big wheels. That was the rubber band car race. I understand how potential energy connects with kinetic energy, because when Kelle and I made our car, we were using potential energy when we wound up the up the rubber band.
