A Hybrid Experience with
Honda Cars of Concord
During the Air Theme unit, Holly did her I-Search project on alternative fuel automobiles.  She invited a representative from Honda Cars of Concord to bring in the Honda Civic Hybrid to our school.  The 5th grade students were able to see first hand how technology is being used to promote higher environmental standards for emission's controls.  If interested in hybrid automobiles, be sure to check out models available by Honda and Nissan; hybrid car buyers can take advantage of a tax credit, and we can all enjoy cleaner air!
Mr. Mark explains how the Hybrid Car uses both batteries and fuel to power the vehicle.
Muliple battery cells are stored in the trunk.  They recharge themselves and don't need to be plugged in.
The use of batteries and gas dramatically increases the fuel enconomy of the Hybrid
Mr. Mark explains exactly how the batteries recharge.
