Day 7 - Worksheets Continue!

Hello!
 Today i have been continuing with my worksheets. For this I have written the instructions for building the FanRacer, and I have completed as much of the PicaasoBot worksheet as I can, however I do need some more photos to fill in some gaps!
 The instructions are as follows:



  1. Using the template provided, cut out 2 small wheels and 2 big wheels from the thick card.
  2. ASK AN ADULT to help you make 4 holes in you drinks can. The two holes at the front must be opposite each other, as must the 2 at the back. Make sure the ones at the back are more than 5cm from the back of the can and under 2 cms from the bottom, and the front holes are level with the back holes.
  3. Take a straw, and but one of the big wheels onto the end of the straw. Stick a piece of bluetack on the end of the straw, and put the straw through the hole at the back. Then add the other wheel, and other piece of bluetack. 
  4. Take the second straw, and cut 5 cm off the end of it. Repeat step 3 with the smaller wheels and the rest of the bluetack.
  5. ASK AN ADULT to help you cut the middle part of the can away,and the hole at the back for the motor. see the photos:
  6. ASK AN ADULT to help you  attach the motor to the battery. Do this by attaching the wires from the motor to the battery, one red and one black. 
  7. Insert the motor and battery into the can and secure with tape. Make sure it is held tightly in place.
  8. Place a piece of tape over the hole in the can. Rest the battery on top of this centrally, and secure with tape. WELL DONE! You are now finished and your FanRacer is ready to go!
Today I also finished as much of my worksheet as I could:
