BEING A LEARNER: Making Our Inquiry Forces Cars

As part of our inquiry around Forces we have been making milk carton cars.  We had to work in groups to design a milk carton car.  Miss Collins gave us a choice of wheels and each groups chose something different to use for wheels.    We found we had to do some troubleshooting as some of the ideas we had didn't work.  

Once we had made our cars we got to decorate them with stickers and markers.  
We enjoyed this part!  Don't our cars look cool!  Miss Collins thought one looked like a bug!  Can you work out which one?

Our next step is to work out how to force them along.  We have watched some videos where they used balloons.  We are thinking that this could be a good idea!  Our next step is to attach the balloon some how and do some testing with our cars.  

Miss Collins has put them away somewhere safe as it is tempting to play with them and we don't want them getting broken!  We are looking forward to racing them.  

Here are some photos of our cars so far...
