Each group needs:

• 5 Popsicle® / hobby sticks
• masking tape, ~24 inches
• 4 Lifesavers® mint candies (Tip: Use the mint-flavored candies because they do not get as sticky as the fruit-flavored ones.)
• 3 drinking straws (small enough diameter to fit inside the mint candy holes)
• 3 index cards
• Car Design Worksheet, one per student

To share with the entire class:

• scissors
• play money (Monopoly® money works well)
• rain gutter section(s), ~7 ft in length
• duct tape (or other heavy duty tape)
• cardboard ramp
• electric fan
• projector, for showing the attached PowerPoint presentations
• stopwatch (if racing only one car at a time)
