Cars

November 7, 2011

The class is trying out the new simple machine sets car instructions.

A car with out wheels does not move much even down hill.

With wheels it goes!

Make a figure 8.

It was easy for some and hard for others.


If the front wheels are on a single axle they do not turn easily.

If the wheels are on separate axles they move in curves easily.

Single axle at the top and separate at the bottom.  Can you see the difference?

Race


The one without steering goes straight and goes farthest.
