Materials & Procedure• Materials:• 3 mousetraps. • Foam board.• String.• Wooden dowels.• 8 I inch wheels.• 2 inch ½ wheels.• coat hanger.• Rubber cement.• tape measure• Pins• sewing bobbins• plastic drinking straws
• Procedure:• Assemble 3 mouse trap cars ,
all with one inch wheels on the front . One with 1 inch back tires, one with 1 ½ inch tires , and one with 2 inch tire . line up each car on the starting line let go of the metal band. Run each car 5 times. Average each cars distance compare results to deter man which wheel size produced the farthest distance.
