Balsa CO₂ Dragster Build Kit – Complete Starter Set with Body Blank, Cartridge, Wheels, Axles, Sandpaper, Graph Paper, and Step-by-Step Guide

Description

The balsa wood dragster kit provides you or a student in grades 6-12 a hands-on activity to design, build, and race a model carbon-dioxide (Co2) dragster that demonstrates the scientific concepts of aerodynamics, motion, drag, and friction. The wood block can be shaped with basic cutting, shaving, or sanding tools for creativity and individuality in the design process. The kit reinforces engineering, technology, and math concepts as students design and builds an efficient model dragster. A model dragster kit is typically used in an educational setting to demonstrate engineering, aerodynamics, and physics.
Kit includes:
One 12″ balsa blank (pre-drilled for Co2 cartridge)
One Co2 cartridge
Two front + Two rear spoke wheels
Four axle washers
Two steel axles
Two screw eyes
One sandpaper sheet
One piece of graph paper
Step-by-step building instructions
