Energy Education Australia Inc.

Energy Education Australia Inc encourages hands on learning. Besides working with students in maintaining our solar car or our pedal prix hybrid we offer member educational institutions a variety of energy based lessons and practicals. For those who are not members, below are a few for you to try.

• Force of Impact - PDF file (790KB) - Click to download
  Force of Impact is a physics based practical that highlights the damage that can be received during an accident. Its main thrust is in showing the damage that results in colliding with a sharp object compared to a blunt one.
  The practical is broken into three sections:
  • Part A introduces the user to average speed
  • Part B compares collidiong with a sharp object to that of a flat object
  • Part C introduces the student to Newton's Laws and and calculations based on formulae .
    
    
• Mouse [Rat] Trap Car - PDF file (461KB) - Click to download
  This one page illustrated page gives brief guides as to how to make the car from basic tools found around the home or classroom. The illustrations show a wooden rat trap available from most hardware stores, old CD or DVD discs, biro shafts, triangular rubbers and house hold string. The few additional materials are minimal and easily resourced.
