Extension Science-Construction Challenge Aim: To design and build a car out of recycled materials that can travel further than 5 meters determined with different front wheel sizes. Hypothesis: Using wheels that are light weight and made of plastic will allow our mousetrap car which is propelled by the force of the mousetrap being set off to travel further than 5 metres. Materials: • Mouse Trap • Screws • Washers • “r” clips • 2x Meccano wheels • 2x CD’s • Small white wheels • Small black wheels
