Make Your Own Drawings

Use these step by step drawings to draw your own pictures. Try them all or pick your favorites!

Cereal Box Car Ramp

 Step 1: 

Gather your materials. You will need: an empty cereal box or two, scissors, blocks, Legos, or something to help make the angle of the ramp, something to go down the ramp (matchbox car, marbles, ball) and tape.

Step 2: 

You are going to cut your cereal box to make the ramp. There are many different ways you can choose to cut the box. Will one way make your car go faster than another way?

 

Step 3:

Build up the base that you are going to set the ramp on. This can be done stacking blocks or legos under the ramp or by taping empty toilet paper rolls under it.You can also use other parts of the cereal box to build the ramp. Use the photos below to help get creative. 

Step 4:

You are now ready to put your car down the ramp! Did it go as fast as you were expecting? What can you do to make the car go faster? What can you use to build your ramp up higher?

Send me a picture of your creation at bissone@westbrookschools.org. I hope you have fun with this!
