Overview
Introduce students to the core concepts of uniform motion and constant velocity with this battery-powered buggy designed for inquiry-based physics labs. When powered with two C batteries (not included), the buggy travels at a steady, nearly constant speed — making it ideal for hands-on measurement, graphing, and experimentation.
This buggy is a simple, affordable tool for reinforcing key motion ideas in middle school through introductory high school physical science or physics courses.
