It presents a perfect way to encourage your child's interest in math and science, while spending time together building a great car. In the video, you and your child will learn: (1) The science behind the pinewood derby presented by a PhD in physics. (2) Tips and techniques to build a fast car, including Dr. Acton's unique wheel alignment fixture. (3) Instructions on how to build a simple two lane track in your garage to perform experiments and test your cars. During one year while Dr. Scott Acton's son was participating in the pinewood derby contest associated with their local Cub Scout pack, his son had begun to show a greater interest in math and science. Dr. Acton saw an opportunity and used the pinewood derby to teach and encourage his son to learn more. Upon telling other parents in their pack about the fun they had and the relationship they developed by working together on their cars, and to help the pack get better at building pinewood derby cars, they invited Dr. Acton to make a presentation to the pack on what they had learned. As time passed Dr. Acton realized that he could share what he had learned with a greater audience, and Physics and the Pinewood Derby was conceived. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-4SfW3lv3o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-4SfW3lv3o 263 pinewood derby car tips secrets fast science physics speed video cub scouts design template align weight energy pinewood derby pinewood derby car Pinewood Derby yes http://www.pinewoodphysics.com/Wind_Resistance_Video.html 2012-01-11 yearly http://img.youtube.com/vi/vtofrqQifsU/default.jpg Pinewood Derby Wind Resistance - A Video Excerpt See how the Physics and the Pinewood Derby educational video performs experiments, based on the scientific method, to determine how to design a pinewood derby race car.
