As far back as about 1,000 years ago, people claimed that they had built a perpetual motion machine. They claimed the machine would run forever without having to do anything to it. Scientists know that a perpetual motion machine is impossible to build. The reason is that every machine constantly needs one thing to stay in motion. What does every machine need to stay in motion?

• electricity

• energy

• heat

• mass

Investigate how the principles of motion and forces can be applied to design a new transportation system that minimizes environmental impact.

• Design a vehicle that uses renewable energy and test its efficiency in different terrains.

• Create a model of a traditional gasoline-powered vehicle and compare its efficiency to an electric vehicle.

• Build a rocket and measure how far it can travel using different fuels.

• Design a bicycle that uses solar power and test its speed on a flat surface.
