Mouse trap Cars Kit for 10 design teams

Mouse trap Cars Kit: Speed to excitement with a car powered by the energy of 1 mousetrap. Prototypes use the classic setup of string connected to the lever arm to move the axles. To achieve maximum speed or distance, design teams alter variables that affect the vehicles performance: friction, mechanical advantage and mass. This hands on activity helps students learn the concepts behind levers,machines and potential and kinetic energy,then apply this knowledge to the engineering challenge. Includes instructions. Caters for 10 teams.
