Technology-Soft Drink Can Cars

Week 1 term 3 2008 saw the introduction of the technology subject to the grades 5 and 6. Grade 5/6Z is attempting to build cars from soft drink cans. The process involved cutting the bottom off of eight cans to form the four wheels required for the cars and the attaching these wheels to wooden skewers before inserting them inside a drinking straw and finally inside another can that formed the body of the vehicle. The finalising of construction and then testing and modifying these vehicles will conclude over the next few weeks.
