What Kids Say
Scott Mitchell Johnson talked to second-graders at Pine Street Elementary School
“What is the most important part of a car and why?”
Kendall Robbins
Age: 7
Teacher: Jennifer Hallett
“A steering wheel because it helps you steer and it also helps you to not go off the road and get in an accident.
If a car didn’t have a steering wheel it would go off the road and hit something like a tree or a farm.”

“The seat belt because it keeps you safe.
I always remember to wear mine.
If you don’t wear your seat belt, you could get hurt if there was a car crash.”

Madison Hedrich
Age: 7
Teacher: Doreen Archer
“The wheels and the motor because the wheels make you go and the motor is what gets the wheels to go.
Without the wheels and the motor, you wouldn’t get to go anywhere.”

Teacher: Carolyn Phelps
“The steering wheel so you can steer your car and have control of it so it doesn’t go all over the place and end up in trouble or a disaster.
Without one you could only go straight and if there was a river you’d be like, ‘Oh, no! I’m going to sink.’”

“I think the air bag is most important because it saves lives.
If you were in a car that didn’t have one and had an accident, you would either smash your face on the window or get hurt and break your head open.
An air bag keeps you safe.”

“The engine because you put oil in it and when you put gas in the car it goes to the engine and makes the car run. If a car doesn’t have an engine, it won’t work.”
