Please give us any ideas you have, and if you come across any good websites that will help us let us know too.

    This website shows you lots of cars that you can make with a step by step guide and most people have the materials handy at home!!

  2. Here is how to make the wheels turn get a straw and cut it to the size of your choice then do the same with a skewer but make the skewer longer then the straw so that you can put the wheels then put the skewer inside the straw then attach the straw to the car with cello tape then put on the wheels make sure that there is no gap between the wheels or the straw if so the skewer will move side to side which we don't want!Then the wheels should move freely!

  3. Put a heavy item at the front of the car so that the heavy item pulls the car down the ramp.
