Number of Items:30 The Pitsco 36298 AP Mini Dragster Kit includes laser-cut wood chassis parts, a paper body design, and all parts required to build an air-powered model dragster for use with students in grades 3-12 studying Newton's laws of motion, aerodynamic drag, and friction. The laser-cut wood chassis parts are easy to prepare and assemble with glue (sold separately), using the included self-adhesive glue lines. Each kit includes Lx-style wheels, polyoxymethylene (POM) axles, axle bushings, plastic straws, tube caps, launch tubes, a paper body design, sandpaper, and instructions. Students can color and cut out the provided body design, or they can design their own. The finished mini dragster measures approximately 2 x 8 x 2 inches, depending on variations in body design. (H is height, the vertical distance from lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.) A mini dragster kit is typically used in an educational setting to demonstrate engineering, aerodynamics, and physics. Construction requires HD Bond II or similar white glue, a glue stick, and scissors (all sold separately). The completed dragster requires the Pitsco 36020 AP Dragster Launcher and an air pump such as a bicycle pump (both sold separately). Science education products incorporate applied math and science principles into classroom projects. Teachers in pre-K, elementary, and secondary classrooms use science education kits and products alongside science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum to demonstrate STEM concepts and real-world applications through hands-on activities. Science education projects include a broad range of activities, such as practical experiments in engineering, aeronautics, robotics, energy, chemistry, physics, biology, and geology. Pitsco Education develops K-12 science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum, educational kits, and classroom tools. The company, founded in 1971, is headquartered in Pittsburg, KS.
