FASTER THAN A SPEEDING BULLET

But what is speed? It’s not just how fast you go, it’s how fast you go over a certain amount of time. As the academic year speeds toward its end, sixth grade is beginning their unit on physics. Maybe this news letter should go under the math heading!

Did you know that going too fast can affecting your heart and breathing rate? That’s why racecar drivers are more physically fit than you might expect. They might be sitting, but the effects of driving hundreds of miles an hour (depending on the type of car) have a great physical impact. (Let alone if the car crashes; now THAT’S a great physical impact.)
