How to make a Mouse Trap Snap
By Jaime, Amanda, and Amber
This experiment makes a mouse trap snap, and is interesting and fun.
Supplies needed to make this invention: A funnel, a marble that is about the size of a tip of the pinkie that belongs to a 10 or 11 year old child, and a mouse trap that you can easily set.
How does it work? Drop a marble down the funnel, it will go down the tube, hit the mousetrap snap. If a mouse steps on the string attached to the marble, it will set the mousetrap off, catching the mouse.
What we learned: Well, we learned not to put our hand in the mouse trap. We also learned not to pick a group and not follow along with it.
Why you should buy it: It will help you keep from getting out of bed to catch the mouse in the middle of the night. Well sometimes!!!
