Doc Fizzix Mousetrap Racers is a wonderful, informative book for anyone of any age who wants to build mousetrap racers. The only feature that would have been better about this book was to have supply lists all in one place rather than scattered throughout the book. The physics of a successful build are explained, illustrated and inclusive of calculations. I purchased two copies of this book so that my grandchildren can invite their friends to build and race with them.
I wish I had bought this before I helped my grand-daughter build her car. We got most of the stuff right, but this book would have saved a lot of our trial-and-error time. Anyway, I truly recommend this book if you have a physics project to build a car powered by a standard mouse trap. The hints and details in this book are easily worth the cost of the book!
I am a high school science teacher and find this book fun and very informative. I wish all of my reference lab books were this good. I used to build balloon cars with my students to demonstrate Newton's Laws but there are so many students with latex allergies so I started looking for another project for my students. This is the one. If I were to write a book this is how I would write it.
This book is the gold standard for teaching Mousetrap vehicle design, as well as the physics behind it.
good starter project book for young minds.
