=Abstract= The purpose of this lab is to show that when a force goes against another there’s a equal reaction. In this lab I had to build a car out of bottle caps, straws, skewers, tape, balloon, and a note card. We had to make sure the car could go 5 meters without pushing it. My car ended up going the 5 meters in a pretty fast time. I found that if there’s at least one little thing wrong on the car it will not work like, if the straw isn’t straight the car wont go straight. In conclusion, I learned a lot from this lab with the laws of motion.

=Materials= 2 Wooden Skewers 3 half straws 4 bottle caps 3 index cards Balloon Masking tape Scissors Stopwatch

=Directions= 1. First start off by getting all the materials needed for this project. 2. Drill a hole in the bottle caps. 3. Cut the skewers down to half their size. 4. Cut the straw in half. 5. Put the skewer through the straw. 6. Then connect the bottle caps to the end of each skewer. (Make sure straw is not hitting the bottle cap. If it is then make straw shorter.) 7. Once you have the two parts of the wheels done, Take the note card and tape it to the straw part so the car will stay together. 8. Then take the balloon and cut off the end. 9. Put the balloon on the end of the straw, wrap it around the straw and tape it to keep the air in. 10. Tape the straw with the balloon at the end of it to the top of the note card. (Make sure balloon is not hanging too much off the end or it will hit the ground and slow the car down.) 11. Position the straw straight. (If not, the car will turn and not go straight.) Your end result should look something like this: =Labeled=
