Thank you for your kind words and prayers for my husband who is in the hospital today and for the next day or two. He is getting better. I hope you had great fun at the Harvest party, and in celebration, just a wee bit of homework to prepare for science next week. Do a Google-image search to find pictures of cool mousetrap cars which you might emulate when we start building them in the next few weeks. Copy and paste them onto a document and print it out--try to find 4 good pictures of different models.
Also, begin collecting parts for wheels; old CDs or toy wheels or a large vinyl record, plastic lids or ??? Whatever you have, share the extra, and experiment. >>>If you have balsa wood or other lightweight wood or other items to experiment with, bring it in too.
Here are a couple of youtube videos of mousetrap cars in action:
And of course there are lots of youtube videos of what others have built and raced. If you find a great one, share in the comments below.
