If the stop height is higher and the loops lower that its previous , the marble will …
III. Discussion E. Construction Procedures
PURPOSE :______________________Materials :1. 4.2. 5.3. 6. Procedures: at least 10 detailed steps 1.2……… 10.
F. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES
PURPOSE: _____________________MATERIALS :1. 2.3.Procedures: at least 10 steps …. Be more
detailed .1..
Roller Coaster ____Purpose: To test the three roller coaster
by determining if the marble completely roll from start to finish.
To measure the elapsed time, length of the track and calculate the speed using v=d/t
Materials : 3 roller coasters , meterstick, stopwatch, calculator, marble , camera
PROCEDURES :1. Check if the marble rolls from start to
finish.2. Measure the length of the track of each
roller coaster using a meterstick.3. Measure the height in cm of each roller
coaster using a meter stick4. Measure the time the marble rolls
completely from start to finish in seconds using a stopwatch.
5. Calculate the speed using V=d/t
6. Calculate the potential energy of the marble using PE= mgh in joules
7. Calculate the kinetic energy using KE=1/2 mv2 in joules
Airplane Design
Purpose : To test the accuracy, distance covered, time of flight and the speed of each plane.
Materials : 10 paper airplanes, meterstick, hula hoops, target, stopwatch, meterstick, calculator , camera
Procedures:1. Set a launching point from the hula hoop.2. Set a target point beyond the hula hoop.3. Measure the length of each plane in cm 4. Measure the wingspan of each plane in cm.5. Test if paper airplanes fly through the hoop.6. Measure the time of flight of each plane that
flies through the hoop.7. Measure the distance traveled
Egg Package Design
Purpose : To test the effectiveness of 10 egg package designs.
Materials : 10 egg packages
landing mat
cutter
garbage bag
gloves, camera
Procedures:1. Measure the diameter and dimention
of the packages if 6inches or less.2. List the total number of eggs inside
each package .3. List the materials inside used for each
package .4. Identify the shape of each package
5. Drop the package from the top of the gym.
6. Open each package and identify the number of eggs that survived
7. Calculate the % of survival for each package using # of eggs survived/ Total eggs X 100
Bridge Design
Purpose :
To test the strength of the 5 bridges.
Materials :
5 bridges
Books
Triple beam balance
Chairs/ desks, calculators, camera
Procedures:1. Measure the length of each bridge in cm.2. Measure the width of each bridge in cm.3. Measure the height of each bridge in cm4. Measure the mass of each bridge in grams
using a triple beam balance .5. Put the bridges between the desks.6. Test the strength by putting as much books
until the bridge breaks.
7. Calculate the strength of the bridge by multiplying the number of the books X the mass of each book.
8. Calculate the strength/ mass ratio.
Glider Design
Purpose: To test all gliders’ distance, time of flight and speed.
Materials : 5 glidersMeterstickCameraStopwatch FlagCalculators
Procedures :1. Test each glider by launching it using a glider
launcher.2. Use a specific and constant launch angle for each
glider .3. Launch the glider.4. Measure the time of flight using stopwatch in
seconds.5. Measure the distance traveled by each glider using
a meterstick .6. Calculate the speed of each glider using v=d/t
