Defining the Problem
Our challenge was to create a mousetrap car that only required the energy used from the mousetrap attached to a piece of wood, that would make it move forward the furthest possible distance
Supplies:
- a piece of wood ~ used as the body of the car
- CDs ~ used for both the back and front wheels
- wooden rods ~ used as axles
- fish eye screws ~ used to hold axles
- mousetrap ~ to power car
- metal rod ~ used as extension
- string ~ connected to axle and the extension; cause axle to spin and push car forward
