BLOODHOUND SSC Desert Search
This BLOODHOUND SSC activity uses Google Earth to investigate the suitability of sites for a land speed record attempt. It is a useful activity for stimulating discussion and developing literacy and numeracy skills. Students try to identify a new site for the BLOODHOUND car to run on, considering specific needs such as the size of the area necessary, the reliability of the surface, road access and security.
