Mouse-Trap Cars
 
For those of you who are having trouble thinking of different materials to use for the wheels of your trap car, feel free to come by and ask me questions or stay and extra minute or two after class, I will give some great tips on how to get your car to go farther and faster with different materials, based on the principles of the Chapter 14.

There are several ideas that you can toss around by looking back through chapter 11, Friction. If you still have trouble, please let me know. Also, remember that you MUST use the mouse traps I provided, I know some of you are thinking of "upgrading" to a slightly larger trap for more power!!!

General Study Tips

Remember This: I always take questions for Monday quizzes from the end of chapter review directly from the book. This helps you to focus on what material is important for the quiz, and also gives you the opportunity to find the answer directly from the text!!!

Do not confuse effort with results!!!
