Project Description:
This is a performance based assessment, meaning you are graded largely on how your project performs not on the number of hours you worked on it. There are no partners and no teams. Students will use one Victor brand mouse trap as the energy source to drive a vehicle as far as possible down the hallway. They will get a maximum of three tries to produce their best distance and that distance will be the basis for their grade.
You may use any materials you wish as long as those materials do not add energy to the vehicle. For example rubber bands or springs or rockets that store elastic energy are forbidden. However, no kits are allowed. The use of a kit will result in a 30 point reduction in score. A 90 would become a 60.
Due Date: The first lab day after return from Winter Break.
Point value: 100 points for the final test output, with other point values assigned also. Example 5 points for drawing and materials list.
