• Started attaching car together by gluing two pieces of wood together
• The wood had holes made into them to put the axle in which are made from coat hangers
• Buttons on both sides of the 4 wheels were glued on to the hot glue gun so that the axle would go through
• The lever of the mousetrap was also made by welding the coat hanger together
• We used ” The stuff that keeps chairs from leaving marks on the floor sticker things” to stop the feel from moving around
• We hot glued most of the parts together to keep the car from falling apart

• Met with Vanessa to discuss what we need and how we were going to build the mousetrap car
• Vanessa bought a lot of random things from the dollar store while I brought some CDs from home
• Looked at some videos and instructions on building a mouse trap car and got a general idea of how to start ours
• We drafted out the materials that we didn’t need and the materials that we did need
• We decided to encase the CDs with balloons for traction
• We also cut off the metal bar from the mousetrap to prepare to make the lever
