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 ÷ volume
length ×height × width
mass × length
length + height + width
length ÷ 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

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

For purposes of our Lego Balloon Vehicle Challenge, the MINIMUM DISTANCE that your Lego Balloon Vehicle had to travel down the hallway in order to earn FULL-Credit or a 100, was a distance of ______________________
2 m or 200 cm
2 feet or 200 inches
2 yards or 200 inches
4 m or 400 cm
6 feet or 600 inches
A good example of _______________________________ imposed our designs that we created for our Lego Balloon Vehicle Challenge was the fact that all vehicles had to be directly powered by only a SINGLE balloon provided by Mr. Dunn. Every design, including real-world designs for real vehicles, have these restrictions put in place, mainly for safety or preservation of resources.

The fact that Lego Balloon Vehicle prototypes could NOT have MORE THAN 4 wheels of the same type and not more than 6 wheels total, was an example of a(n) _____________________________ that are imposed on ALL designs. In real-world designs, these are usually done in the name of safety considerations.
