If the wings are _________, then it will glide longer in air .

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

8. Measure the distance from the target in cm .

9. Calculate the speed of each plane using v=d/t

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
