Progress in the Mousetrap Car in Tuesday, February 18, 2014

                      What went really well on Tuesday:

• The wheels turn more efficiently when we added red tape to the wheels (Physics Concept: friction)
• We increased the rate in which the car was moving from the day before (Physics Concept: velocity and acceleration)

                    What we struggled with on Tuesday:

• The wheels in the car are not moving consistently in a straight path (Physics Concept: traction)

                  What do we have to do in order to improve the mousetrap car:

•  We have to either apply more red tape in order to apply more traction within the wheels or find a particular way in creating more velocity.

                  What are we worried about: 

• That our wheels will not stay consistently in one path, restricting the maximum amount of speed the mousetrap car can actually go!
