Description
- START-TO-FINISH DESIGN PROCESS. This simple instructions allows the learner to walk through all steps of the build while gaining understanding of "the why" behind the mouse trap car.
- STEM ACTIVITIES FOR KIDS. Apply science, technology, engineering, and math through learning about Newton's laws, simple machines, and force and motion.
- ENGINEERING DESIGN. Expose students to the Engineering Design Process that encourages them to experiment and modify their vehicle for greater speed and distance.
- FUN AND EDUCATIONAL AT THE SAME TIME. Complete your build and race to the finish as you compete aganist others to see who can propel their mousetrap car the furthest. Have fun while building, racing, and learning.
- MATERIALS FOR THE WHOLE CLASS. This pack comes in bulk and allows for the building of 30 mousetrap vehicles. Each pack includes one copy of the basic building instructions and a copy of the helpful handbook Dr. Fizzix's mousetrap powered cars and boats.
More than a mousetrap vehicle kit, this is a complete start-to-finish design activity. The student follows the design process and sees direct applications of science and technology as he or she designs and builds a mousetrap-powered vehicle and competes with others to design the car that can go the furthest and the fastest.
