SpeedometryTM is a 2-unit standards-based curriculum designed to engage students in learning STEM content using Hot WheelsTM cars and tracks. The content is aligned to the Common Core Standards in Science and Mathematics and the Next Generation Science Standards. Speedometry is a fun and engaging way to learn about concepts such as energy, force, and motion. Students also learn scientific and engineering practices such as analyzing and interpreting data.
Part I: Hot Wheels and Ramps
The Yellow Driver of Team Hot Wheels breaks the world record for distance jump in a four-wheeled vehicle a the Indianapolis 500 on May 29, 2011. Watch as the Yellow Driver, Tanner Foust, drops 10 stories down 90 feet of orange track and soars 332 feet through the air.
Answer the following questions in your notebook:
1. What did you notice about the design of the ramp?
2. How do you think the engineers got the car to do the jump?
3. What did you notice about the track and the car?
4. How was the car different from car you usually see people drive?
5. How were the tracks different from the streets in your neighborhood?

Hot Wheels® designer Windsor Williams needs your help! He’s challenging all of you to help him engineer the best ramp to make cars go faster and further.
AFTER EXPLORATION, respond in your notebook:
1. What do you think caused the car to go faster?
2. Do you think the type of car your group used affected your results?

Felix Baumgartner's supersonic FREEFALL from 128,000 ft - Mision Highlights
After flying to an altitude of 39,045 meters (128,100 feet) in a helium-filled balloon, Felix Baumgartner completed a record breaking jump for the ages from the edge of space, exactly 65 years after Chuck Yeager first broke the sound barrier flying in an experimental rocket-powered airplane. Felix reached a maximum of speed of 1,357.6 km/h or 843.6 mph(Mach 1.25) through the near vacuum of the stratosphere before being slowed by the atmosphere later during his 4:20 minute long freefall. The 43-year-old Austrian skydiving expert also broke two other world records (highest freefall, highest manned balloon flight), leaving the one for the longest freefall to project mentor Col. Joe Kittinger. Click on the link below to watch the Mission Highlights
