- Wood mousetrap vehicle kit provides students in grades 6-12 a hands-on activity to design, build, and modify a model car that demonstrates the scientific concepts of velocity, force, motion, and Newton's laws of physics
- Includes parts required to build a vehicle propelled by a mousetrap for teaching engineering design
- Exposes students to the design process and encourages them to experiment and modify the vehicle for greater speed or distance
- Reinforces technology, engineering, and math concepts as students modify cars based on factors that impact performance
- Finished vehicle measures approximately 4.5 x 5 x 26.5 inches (H x W x D)
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.
