They were given specifications to design, build and test a CO2 drag- ster. Here they are testing different axle materials to determine the axle with the least friction in an at- tempt to create the fastest dragster. Eighth graders Maddox Hunt and Nate Carter learned about how athletes have increased in size, strength and speed; how equipment protects them; and how new equipment is needed to continue to pro- tect them in the Ahead of the Game Expedition.
