Wheely Good Time
This project involves making a car from two wheels, a balloon, and a straw. It takes about thirty to forty five minutes to finish this activity.
The resource has excellent directions. You can modify your wheels with anything that rolls and replace the popsicle stick with anything that makes a strong car base. The satisfaction from watching your car speed across the track is exhilarating. The only thing that would make this project even better is a crowd chanting “Newton’s Third law”. I’d recommend this experiment for those engineers who never get two tired with modifications and improvements.
