So a few weeks ago we started working on our solar powered cars in science. Two years ago, (I Think) we made mousetrap cars. Thats what I think about when we work on the solar cars. They’re made out of thin Wood/Cardboard like pieces, Solar Panels, Wheels and a Motor. the only way to make these cars move, is by putting them in a place with sunlight and enough space. We did do a practice run down by the school’s office, it went pretty well…except for the fact that my friend/teammate Lucy, but motor on upside down… We blamed our other teammate andre.
Questions:
- Will we be continuing this project soon?
- What about the sun makes the car move?
- Why does the motor need to be facing a certain way?
