Activity 3: Need for Speed [6 points]
We have had many inventors here in New Zealand who have created things that have changed the world. Two of these inventors were Bill Hamilton (1899-1978) and John Britten (1950-1995).
Bill Hamilton grew up on a farm in the South Island of New Zealand. One of his first inventions was a tow rope to pull skiers up a ski field. His most famous invention, however, is the development of the modern jet boat engine. It allows boats, like the Huka Falls Jet, to travel at lightning speed along rivers. Bill Hamilton invented the jet boat to solve a problem.
John Britten, on the other hand, loved to rebuild vehicles, including motorbikes. He set up the Britten Motorcycle Company from his garage in Christchurch, New Zealand. One of his bikes, the V1000, won a number of international races and set a world speed record for going 304km per hour! Wow! Now that is fast…!

Mālō Ni Courtney,
ReplyDeleteWell done on completing week 3, day 3, activity 3: Need for Speed. What an awesome drawing you have shared your speedy fast car! I like the colour that you have used, and how much detail you have put into the drawing of your car.
I really enjoyed reading your description of your car, I mean how cool would it be to have rainbow headlights and glow in the dark paint?!
What was the inspiration behind your car design?
