The physics class explored the concepts of Newton's Laws, momentum, and friction as they made Mouse Trap Cars. Students were given one mousetrap and told to construct a vehicle that went a minimum of 10m (38.2 ft) using the mouse trap as the only source of power. Brock Bishop's car "Big Papa" went the furthest at 14 m. Katy Sullivan's car "Rainbow" won most artistic design.
