Mousetrap Blog

We are using the following items to construct our mousetrap cars:

Food skewers (axles)

4 CDs (wheels)

Mousetrap (body and power source)

Eyelets (to hold the axles)

cotton balls (to keep the CDs in place)

A pen or pencil (to help power the car)

String

Process:

We will screw the bolts in. Then, we will put in the skewers. After that, we will glue on the pen to the mouse trap (to give the trap a higher rotational velocity). Then, we will put the CDs on the axles, and tie the string to the pen and rear axle. We will activate the trap, propelling the car forward.
