Things you can use for wheels <strong>and</strong> axles.<br />

1. Bring the dierent materials that you have collected for<br />

wheels <strong>and</strong> axles to class.<br />

2. You must now experiment with the dierent materials that<br />

you have to make wheels <strong>and</strong> axles. Attach the setup to the<br />

small box to test the wheels <strong>and</strong> axles.<br />

3. Remember what you learned about how to attach axles to the<br />

box <strong>and</strong> experiment with these dierent methods as well<br />

(Hint: Bearings!)<br />

4. Experiment with dierent sized wheels <strong>and</strong> find the best<br />

option.<br />

5. Once you have tested <strong>and</strong> evaluated the dierent setups you<br />

have made to see whether they move easily, select the best<br />

option <strong>and</strong> make an improved tractor from the simple tractor<br />

you made at the beginning of this chapter with the pencils.<br />

6. Evaluate how far your improved tractor can go if you give it a<br />

push with an object in the small box.<br />
