Sailboats are frequently seen at sea. We don’t have any, but we’ve never seen sailing ships move on land. On this adventure, I’d like to create a unique sailing ship that will be capable of travelling on land. We’ll study the energy that propels sailboats.
Truth is the wind that strong? And if it really has, why aren’t they all moving? wind powered vehicles? They will interact with the structural parts required for the building, and we will discuss the axis and the wheel. After the young kids have finished their structure, the game begins. Are they capable of dealing with any problem that arises?
