LFSSV21: Activity Execution

Activity Execution

Let's get started!

We are now going to make a car powered by rubber bands! Here is what you need:

Material	Quantity	Dimension/ size/weight (if applicable)	Alternative (if applicable)
Popsicle Sticks	6	Standard size	-
Bottle caps	4	Standard/ soft drink bottle caps	-
Rubber Bands	5	-	-
Drinking Straw	1	-	-
Barbeque Stick	2	-	-
Elfy	1	100gm	Super glue/GMSA
Scissors	1	-	-

Great job!

STEP 1: Take five popsicle sticks. Join four of the end of the sticks to end and a fifth one on top.

Be careful while using the glue gun!

STEP 2: Cut a piece at the middle of the bottom stick.

STEP 3: Take another popsicle stick and place two cuts at both ends.

STEP 4: Paste the small piece on the top stick vertically. Attach two more popsicle pieces parallel to the top stick as support.

STEP 5: Cut small pieces of the straw. Attach the pieces on the top stick and bottom stick, both parallel to the sticks.

STEP 6: Pass barbeque sticks through the straws at the top and bottom. Attach bottle caps on four ends of the sticks to make the tires of your car.

STEP 7: Attach two small pieces of sticks at the bottom stick perpendicular to it.

STEP 8: Put rubber bands around the wheel. Stretch the rubber band from the top popsicle stick to the bottom sticks at the bottom.

STEP 9: Move the car back and forth to wrap the rubber band around the bottom stick. (In this step, you are storing elastic potential energy in the car).
