Mousetrap+Racers

**__SCIENCE MOUSETRAP RACERS: __**
**The last few weeks the year 8 class has been working on making Mousetrap racers. We could work on your own, in a pair. I worked with Emily and Sarah, the only reason that we were allowed to work in a group of 3 was because Emily went away for half of the science lessons as she went on a holiday. Our group I thought worked really well together and got the task finished, except for the fact that our mousetrap racer wouldnt work and on the day our mousetrap broke so we couldnt race even if ours did move. Our mouse trap had wooden axles, Plastic wheels that we nailed onto the axles and also 2 longish bits of wood that held the mousetrap off the ground. When it was time to race our mousetrap racers we didnt have one to race, But we raced them out in the corridoor and there were heaps of peoples mousetrap racers that didnt even move. Miss Grewar's mousetrap racer was the one that won, then it was Jordan and Sam's in second place and in last place was Brenden. If we had to do this task again I would proberbly change the way we set it out and also make it go next time.**
