Today we completed our design specifications for our electric cars.

When we had decided on our design, we decided how many resources (wood, wheels etc) we needed.

We had to 'cost' our car and keep a running total of how much we spent on our other resources.

Each piece of wood was £1. Everything else was 50p

We then began making our cars. It was much harder than we thought it would be.

We used bench blocks and junior hacksaws to saw our wood.

We had to measure very carefully.

Once we had cut out the frames of our cars we had to use the glue gun to stick them together. We then tested them to see whether they would work. Some of us had to rethink our designs.

We will have our race off tomorrow!
