Energy Project
Challenge: Design and build a small machine that converts
potential energy into kinetic energy. The goal is to make
your machine (or an object) travel a short distance ina
straight line (approximately 1 metre).
(Group Members (3 max):
Step I: Research different forms of energy and how they
can be used to make an object move.
Step 2: Brainstorm ideas/plans for your machine.
Step 3: Choose a design plan that is practical. You will be building
it! Place a check mark beside your choice.Step 4: Draw a detailed plan for your machine and make a
list of all the required materials. Circle any
materials that you do not have access to at home.
