The armband and the table are cool innovations, but what about high tech science that travels 200 miles per hour?
Racing is about a lot more than pressing the accelerator and turning left, and now NASCAR, the National Association of Stock Car Racing, is connecting the sport to STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math).
NASCAR partnered with a publisher to create instructional sheets about speed for teachers and made them compatible with the Common Core standards used in Ohio. Using what they call the "Three D's of Speed", you learn about drafting, which is what allows more than one car in this line to travel faster than one car by itself, along with downforce and drag.
All are aerodynamic forces engineers use in building their race cars, to increase how fast they go.
