Cars and Vehicle Science Experiments
Cars are great subjects for science experiments because they are built to move. Cars need fuel to power their engines, the engine turns the gasoline into mechanical energy that moves the gears, the gears turn the wheels, and then the car moves. It may seem like magic, but cars really move by using the laws of science. That’s why science experiments use model cars to explain the science of movement -- like the ideas of motion and rest, force and friction, and action and reaction.
