1.3 Car: Steps

Step Photo Explanation

1 Drawing the base of the car. It was supposed to be rectangular but because of a problem with one axel it finished with other shape.

2 We cut 2 pieces of carboard for the base to be more rigid and resistant.

3 We did holes on the 4 cups fot thr axels.

4We inserted the axels on the wheels and glued them to be moreresistant.

5We shaped 4 pieces of wood in order to hold the axels.

6We glued together all the parts we had already.

7We connected the wires to the motor andglued it to the car withadhesive tap.

8We glued the motor tothe car and connected it with a wheel through an elastic band.

9We joined the wires with adhesive tap.

10We joined the wires ofthe bulb to the wires of the motor so when we switch them on, both work.

11This way both, bulb and motor work.

12 Finally, we did the body of the car and glued it to the base.

OUR CAR IS READY TORACE!!
