example of trebuchet


reflection on trebuchet lesson 1

Today we went into the work shop and talked about the trebuchet we will be making. Wardy showed us ways which we can build the trebuchet with pine wood and make it stable.
below is a picture of Wardy excited about his trebuchet

reflection

today i raced my car and it was 3 seconds which I'm very happy about :)

the amazing mouse



reflection

i have designed my vehicle as a mouse so it looks different to the other cars and the vehicles will be chasing after the mouse (hopefully) i have done this by putting cotton balls on it and eyes

reflection

in the makings of my car ive been really impressed with my design and am looking forward to the race on monday. My design is a little different to the other as it has the batteries at the bottom of the vehicle and motor at the top. i have taken the tyres off the wheels as it causes the vehicle to move slower from the friction.

reflection

The past few weeks in DT we have been making and designing a car which will eventually be used in a race along with the other students in my class. I have really enjoyed this task so far and am excited to see the final result
