Pitsco Education Mousetrap Vehicles is a complete start-to-finish design activity. The student follows the design process and sees direct applications of science and technology as he or she designs and builds a mousetrap-powered vehicle and competes with classmates to design the fastest car or the car that goes the farthest. Each kit includes a mousetrap, balsa wood, four CDs (for wheels), CD spacers, thrust washers, brass tubing, string, and building instructions.
Requires white glue, ruler, hobby knife, wire cutter, and a drill or Dremel tool, sold separately.
