The Basswood 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 foam blank allows you or a student to experiment with creating a prototype body shape before shaping the wood block. 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" Basswood blank (pre-drilled for Co2 cartridge)
One Co2 cartridge
One foam blank (for prototyping)
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

Some tools you may need: drill, a coping saw, a wood file or rasp, a ruler, scissors, finish or paint, and a race system (all sold separately).
