Clarity Racing Team visits Navigator Elementary
Students observed the components of the race car and shared their observations. Mrs. Patton shared the science involved in racing a stock car including the weight of the car, fire protection and how the tires sick to the roadway/racetrack. They learned about Bernoulli principal of when air or water going over a longer surface it moves faster and creates lift.
