2nd Annual KAS Car Show ⚡ This week, our Grade 7 scientists wrapped up their Energy Unit with the 2nd Annual KAS Car Show, where students designed, built, tested, and raced their own gravity-powered derby cars. Applying concepts like potential and kinetic energy, friction, and center of mass, students refined their designs through testing, data analysis, and iteration—bringing science to life in a hands-on way. The races were fast, competitive, and full of energy, with top racers advancing to a final Championship Race to determine this year’s winner. A big thank you to everyone who came out to support! #KASDragons #MiddleSchoolScience
