F.Y.I. Lego Balloon Vehicle Challenge

If a Lego Balloon Vehicle traveled 1,245 cm, how many METERS would this be?

• 12.45 m

• 124.5 m

• 1.245 m

• 0.1245 m

• 124,500 m

The fact that ALL Lego Balloon Vehicles must move ONLY through power of balloon- no

pushing or use of other force- was a good example of a

The LENGTH of each designer's Lego Balloon Vehicle served as a _____________________________ in our experiment, because these measurements were much different for each designer.

The balloon used by each designer for their Lego Balloon Vehicle served as a ________________________ in our experiment, because these were exactly the same for each designer.

The name of the tool that we used to measure the distances in between the individual tiles, or the remaining distance not already known by the known measurements of the tiles, was called a __________________________________,

• triple beam balance

• meterstick

• metric ruler

• calculator

• stop watch

An important factor that contributed to the success of each Lego Balloon Vehicle was the positioning and method of releasing the __________________________ energy of the balloon, which was essentially the "engine" of each vehicle.

What is the formula for volume of a regular solid and the same formula we used to calculate the volume of our Lego Balloon Vehicle?

• $mass\ \div\ volume$

• $length\ \times height\ \times\ width$

• $mass\ \times\ length$

• $length\ +\ height\ +\ width$

• $length\ \div\ height\ -\ width$

Access to the Lego pieces and the types of pieces that you were able to use served a ____________________ in our Lego Balloon Vehicle experiment because all designers had access to the same materials

The exact measurement of each full sized tile in the hallway was ___________________.

• 44.5 cm

• 45.5 in

• 45.5 cm

• 45.5 m

• 45.5 mm

In our experiment to test the distance of various Lego Balloon Vehicles that we designed, the hallway that we raced each vehicle in would be considered a ___________________________________________ because the size of the hallway was exactly the same for each designer's test of their vehicle's performance
