We have thoroughly enjoyed our DT afternoons this half term, and we have all successfully made our slingshot cars! We learnt how the mechanism works- that by pulling the elastic band backwards we are creating tension, which in turn creates kinetic energy (which makes the car move). We also thought about how we were going to design our cars with air resistance in mind, depending on what we wanted our cars to do.
