Description

When engineers design something new, they need to think about forces like gravity and friction. Friction is a force that slows and stops moving objects. Without friction, any object that was pushed or pulled would keep moving forever. Build a model car out of GoldieBlox and test the friction of your car on different surfaces to prepare for a Troop Car Chase!

1. Design and build model cars

2. Use model cars to test the friction of different surfaces

3. Race your cars!

When I’ve earned this badge, I will have learned about friction by building and testing model cars. I will know how to design and test new things that I invent.

Iron-on. Twill with embroidery. Polyester. Made in USA.

Girl Scout badges, awards, and other insignia that are earned for the accomplishment of skill building activities or any set requirements should be presented, worn, or displayed only after Girl Scouts have completed the requirements outlined in the appropriate program materials.
