| Mouse trap cars made in Mr. Kindrick's science class | 112.48 KB |
Have you seen Mr. Kindrick’s class? They have been working on mouse trap cars. They have been driving them down the upstairs hall.
Daniela Meledez, a eighth grade girl in Mr. Kindrick’s class, said her mousetrap car went well and got her an A. Daniela said her favorite part was “finding out it actually worked.” The hardest part was trying to come up with a model, Daniela said. It took Daniela two to three days to complete.
Shayra Riches, an eighth grade girl, is starting to work on her mousetrap car. She said so far it has taken her one week to get as far as she has. Her favorite part is the lever, it seems really powerful. Shayra said the hardest part is getting it long enough and getting it to work right.
Mr. Kindrick, a science teacher, said he has been running the mousetrap cars for twelve years. The kids use a combination of simple machines, levers, wheels, and axles. Mr. Kindrick said it is “part of the state core, plus it is always fun to learn.”
Good luck to everyone making a car!
