Last Saturday my
8 year old son took part in space derby event. Space derby, a game played with great enthusiasm and passion is recognized by a majority of people. It’s a
different kind of game that involves the cub scouts in their game. Cub scouts,
a name given to candidates participating in space derby event majority of them
consists of ages from eight years to 10 years and exists in countless number
introduces various events in their game like pine wood derby that relies on
cars, raingutter derby relies on boats and more. Space derby is one of those
games that introduce rockets in their game. Started with a thought in mind to
aware teenagers with the laws of kinematics with these activities of organizing
space derby events, it has proven beneficial to polish up the science skills of
students.
Space derby is
based on rockets that are forced by a propeller on a fishing wire. Each Cub
Scout is provided with a Cub Scout pack
that contains a rocket, propeller and rubber bands in it. The game is
completely based on three categories First one is speed, next one is design and
the last one is creativity. Speed depends on how fast your rocket is, it
depends on how creative your rocket design is! Is your rocket well enough to
follow the rules of science? Next come outlook of your rocket which simply
means how good your rocket is to catch the attention of viewers. Last one is
your creativity i.e. is your rocket solid enough to complete the race? Make
sure your rocket construction should be solid enough to bear a little force or
resistance and can’t be broken in the way.
Space winder is a
tool that can be used to enhance the speed of your rocket and to make it run
smoothly without any barriers. With this amazing tool four rockets can wind up
at the same time equally providing an ease to win the space derby event. Enjoy
a barrier free race with this amazing tool called space winder by eliminating
the conditions that could destroy the circumstances.
