We don't know how many times the wheel was discovered, but we do know that it is circular. And we know that it is not just a coincidence! The roads are generally flat. What if a square wheel had been discovered? What kind of world would we live in today? Is it possible for a car to ride on a bumpy floor? How would the wheels have to be? We are going to build cars to ride on a special road and race with square wheeled cars, without noise or bumps!
This activity comes under the program #cienciavivaathome. From the kitchen to the bathroom, even walking through the garage, no room was left out: after all, science is everywhere!
