Feasibility Study on Mouse Trap Car Design and Construction
This project focuses on creating a mouse trap-powered car, utilizing scrap materials at a cost of $3 per trap. Students will engage in research and hands-on activities to understand the mechanics involved, including speed measurement using the formula s = d/t and concepts of kinetic energy and acceleration. The project emphasizes safety, time management, and self-tracking of learning progress through journals or digital tools. Students will explore resources, defining how math and science principles apply in their design process.

Presentation Transcript
My Project By Jason Butka
Feasibility • $3 per mouse trap • Scrap materials (salvage) • THINK ABOUT OTHER • Safety • Time • etc
Research Recording • Name 3 or more ways students can track their learning and progress during the assignment
Math / Science • HOW is math & science used in this project? BE SPECIFIC • Measure the speed s=d/t • Define Kinetic energy& acceleration
Materials • What type of materials are students allowed to use?
Resources • What are some resources students can use to learn what they need to learn? (YOU DON’T GIVE THEM THE STEPS, THEY LEARN) • Should be at least 3 or more sites/books etc.
