Steven has been working on a chemical car for the entire semester. The other day they presented and they got 2nd place!!! This is no ordinary high school "see how far your car can go" race. This is college people. This is the chemical engineering major! The class didn't know how far/ not far the car should go until the day of the presentation. Once the teacher said how far, 2.5 meters, the groups got to calculating. Stevens did a sweet iodine car. The car moves as long as the liquid is clear. Once it has been exposed to the light for so long, it turns black. Here's how the iodine works and next is Stevens car. Watch when the liquid turns black on the car. It's awesome! I never thought chemistry would be so interesting. =)
