The Science Teacher—March 2002

Conceptual physics emphasizes analysis and analytical thinking skills. This article features an "Edible Race Cars" lab where students design, construct, and race their cars to learn about the concepts of aerodynamics, friction, acceleration, and speed. Additionally, this lab provides in-depth experience with the scientific method and instructs students in the construction of a formal scientific laboratory report.
