Veggie Fruit Cars

Veggies and fruits are not only good for you, they are good for making cars, too! Make a car using fruit, vegetables, tooth picks and skewers. Then build a simple ramp to test your design.

Can you re-design your "jalopy" to have it go even farther?

Instructions:

1. Using any fruit or vegetable, create a car. You must have:

   1. A body of the car

   2. 4 wheels

   3. An axel for the wheels

2. You may use skewers or toothpicks for axels

3. You may decorate your car however you would like.

Test run

1. Create a simple ramp.

2. Run your car down the ramp and measure how far it went.

3. Can you change certain variables to make it run farther? (change the wheel design? Add more fruit/veg for more weight? Take off some for less weight?

Finished?

1. Take a picture AND video of your veggie/fruit cars in action.

2. Add to social media: With your parents permission, add your description, picture/video to Facebook, and/or Instagram
