Trinity Episcopal School

Wind-Up Car Challenge

Club Girlstart at Trinity is full of future automotive engineers! Gasoline is an expensive non-renewable resource. Today, scientists and engineers are busy trying to find an alternative energy source that can be used in everyday situations. The cars we designed this week use potential energy to move!




Every time you wind up the car, the potential energy increases!
Potential energy can then be converted into kinetic energy- the
energy of motion!
