Question:

How to make axles for a homemade toy car?

I have everything I need. I am using straws and bottle caps for the wheels but I have no idea how to place it on the car so it will spin. Please please help

Answer:

If you really do like candy, do you have any empty lollipop sticks left lying around? Or can you empty a couple of them (yum) quickly? They would make perfect axles for a toy car of it's small. Cut small holes through the sides of the car where the axles should go, put them in, and attach the wheels.
Oh i remember doing that project! Is it the one where you make the simple machines? If it is, it's simple! All you got to do is make a 'car'. step 1: get a box (small), 2: buy push pops,3: punch holes in the box so the push pops make wheels, 4: make a pulley out of string, another small box, and push pops, 5: make a block to be a ledge and make a mini see-saw (lever). You use the pulley to get the 'car' down the wedge, then from the wedge you see the 'car' go down and up the see-saw! Isn't it brilliant! my teacher gave me an A+ on the 'car' and an A+ on the writing. (step by step, how-to) inclined plane and lever is the see-saw, the wheel and axle is the 'cars' wheels, the wedge is the wedge or block, and you built a pulley!
