Mouse Trap Car Project: Energy and Motion | Physics and Engineering
There is nothing better to solidify the students understanding of Energy than to have them build and test out their mouse trap cars. Many times, students look forward to this project all year. This project allows students to visualize how elastic potential energy converts to kinetic energy. Students are always astonished to see concepts they are learning about come to life as we work on this project.Even though I allow the students to build the mouse trap car however they like, I have included a
