Here, we're gluing the wheels on to the axel |
Here were our steps:
Why we did this experiment:
"To see what type of wheels would go farther than other types of wheels." ~ Owen
"To experiment how we make toys and how if it's heavier or lighter will make it faster." ~ Sophia
"We've been learning about Simple Machines and this is a type of simple machine." ~ Priya
"For problem-solving." ~ K
"This was my original design of a wheel and axel." ~ Jaxton |
What we learned:
"I learned that the bigger the wheel, the less friction it makes, so the faster it goes." ~ Nikita
"I found extra pieces of cardboard. I made an extra air pocket to catch the air. I learned that it will slow the wheel and axel down." ~ Owen
"I figured out that when you attach more wheels, it stabilizes it. As it goes down the incline plane, it slows it down which makes it roll straighter, and helps it go farther." ~ Jaxton
This is where we tested our wheelies down the ramp/incline plane. |
