Fueling the Car of Tomorrow

The Science Teacher—September 2010

It is no secret that many high school students are fascinated with automobiles. The activities in Fueling the Car of Tomorrow—a free high school science curriculum, available online—(see “On the web”)—capitalize on this heightened awareness and provide relevant learning opportunities designed to reinforce basic physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics principles. The curriculum consists of 17 activities that can serve as a resource for science classes or as the basis of an entire course; each activity is also explicitly tied to state and national science standards (NRC 1996).
