Make It

Some of the Make It team members are working on balloon powered cars and rubber band powered cars. Today we watched three videos about alternate forms of energy.

Road trip is a video about the cost of driving.

Ethanol vs. gasoline is a video about the cars that have "flexible fuel engines" or engines that can run on ethanol.

The Wind Power Project is a long video about a wind project in California. We only watched the first segment of this video. We skipped the segments about "The Price of Urban Renewal" and The San Diego Hotel.
