The class will be racing their EV again this year in the CTEEA Alt ernative Energy Race scheduled for May 23rd in Berlin, CT. Last year the team came in 3rd place completing 83 laps in one hour.

In their 10th-grade Chemistry unit on states of matter and phase changes, students observed dry ice formation through rapid depressurization of liquid carbon dioxide. The dissolution of dry ice in a sodium hydroxide solution with a pH indicator demonstrated carbon dioxide's ability to form acidic solutions in water, analogous to acid rain. We also explored evaporation as a cooling process, noting that the rapid evaporation and expansion of liquid carbon dioxide leads to the extreme cold necessary for dry ice formation.
