ABSTRACT
Amelia Saleh
This paper discusses electronic cars invented in Palestine, graphs
containing the calculations of the speed and distance of the mousetrap car. If
interested in how to build a mousetrap and how to make it work you are invited to
listen and learn from our presentation.

INTRODUCTION
Salma Shaksher
The goal of making cars is to make it easier for people to move from place to
another. So making this mousetrap car is a sample of how car moves. Even if the car
helps in many things, it has some bad things that it does to the environment.

METHODS

1 mousetrap
Glue

DISCUSSION
Cars and pollution
Amelia Salah

Everyone uses cars. Cars are everywhere. The majority of the world has cars.
Cars help us in transportation to any places we want. Though cars affect us and our
environment more than we think it does. Someday everyone will realize how much
pollution cars produce but it will be too late.
Pollution in the air is a really serious problem. It can lead to asthma and other
dangerous diseases. Small diseases which can seem not that big can lead to really
huge and irretrievable sicknesses like cancer. Particular matter is responsible up to

30,000 deaths per year. Every year up to 30,00 humans lifes are taken for something
that makes other life's more comfortable.i

The three laws of Newton

Amelia Saleh
1) The resting object will stay at rest unless an unbalanced force acts on it.
The object will stay moving unless an unbalanced force acts on it.
2) Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. Force= mass *
acceleration.

3) For every action there is a equal reaction.

Palestine
First Palestinian car
Salma Shaksher
Everybody knows that the Palestinians have a lot of obstacles that makes it
harder to build cars. The biggest obstacle is the Israeli occupation. The Israeli
occupation affects the Palestinians in many ways, one of them that they don't let the
Palestinians have the materials they need to build a car. Also, the possibilities that the
Palestinians have are very weak, which makes building a car harder.
Nevertheless, Gaza's students had made a car with regular materials that they
found in their country. Palestine struggled with the lack of money and materials they

need to acclimate with the fact that the Israeli occupation are controlling every tiny
thing they can benefit from. ii1
