Next week we are starting our first Design and Technology class in grade 8. Each grade 8 class will be getting 4-5 classes in the woodworking shop where we will be constructing mousetrap cars. The grade 7 classes will later be building structures to compliment their science units.
The 8s will be working in pairs to construct a mousetrap car that can travel a minimum of 1 m and carry a cargo load that they will dump using pneumatics. To help with this construction we are looking for the donation of old CDs or DVDs that the students could use as wheels for their cars. All other supplies will be provided.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Mr.Brooks
