Concepts
Kinetic Energy- The energy an object has because of its motion.
Acceleration- Rate in which the velocity changes over time.
Thermal Energy- The energy lost when potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.
Potential energy- The energy an object has because of its position, can be gravitational or elastic.
Velocity- speed in a given direction.

It was a lot of fun working with my group, and even though we took a simpler approach to the problem then some other groups did, it gave us time to fine tune the car so it would go the same distance. It took us about two days to get the car moving, but it didn't have enough power,to go the full five meters, we fixed this by adding a wooden lever to the pull bar of the rat trap. Despite this we didn't have any major problems with our car, and gave us time to make a video.
One thing I feel I need to work on is keeping on task, and contributing more towards the project. One thing I felt like I did well is I brought supplies for the project, which usually someone else always does. Overall I felt like I did well on the project, and found it to be very exciting, and a fun way to learn about he concepts.
