Mythbusters Crashes and Collisions

Car crashes and collisions have fascinated people since automobiles were first introduced and accidentally smashed into one another. Advancements in mechanics have allowed automobiles to become much safer, but there are still fascinating myths surrounding the physics of how cars accelerate and ultimately collide with objects or one another. Now, with the help of the Mythbusters Crashes and Collisions kit, your child can purposely crash cars to learn important scientific principles and test myths surrounding automobile accidents. While forming a theory about each of the myths, the included activity guide will help your son or daughter determine the best approaches to running each experiment.

Run series of tests to determine how the variables of weight and friction affect car velocity and impact. Your child can use his or her newfound knowledge of physics and dependent and independent variables to confirm or bust whether or not wind can stop a car from crashing, or to determine how a car might be able to move using a mysterious hidden energy! Discover the scientific explanation of why some collisions end in minor dents and dings while others lead to major destruction. Your son or daughter is sure to need both of the included Buster figures while conducting these high velocity crash tests!
