  1. MPV Building Instruction Part 1 Material uses

  2. Mousetrap Used as body of basic car Major power-source?

  3. String or Rubber-bands … • Connects body to axles • The attachment of string/rubber-band around axle determines how the car moves

  4. Eye-screws • Eye-screws are the best and easiest way to connect the axles to the body of the car

  5. Pencils and dowel rods • These are used to make the axles of the car • Connects the wheels together

  6. CD’s • Serve as wheels for the car • 2 wheels stuck together make better wheels • Coffee lids, plastic plates, records, and pizza pans have all been used

  7. Connectors • Cardboard, washers, spools • Used to make a stable connection the wheel to the axle • Spools work the best, the others are good
