Andy Phillips Shannon Kelly Matt Stout Raymond Poon The Magic School Bus
Uses Torque – Mouse Trap Angular Momentum - Funnel Projectile Motion – Out of tube Linear Momentum – Ball/Bus
The Magic School Bus - $1 Wood - $4 Paint Sticks – $1 Plastic Tube - $1 PCV Pipe - $1 Tape- $1 Pulleys – $2.50 Mousetrap - $1.49 Experience - Priceless Total – $12.99
Operations Ball starts at rest then gains momentum through gravity Constant Acceleration, Ball projects into funnel Projectile Motion Ball falls onto mousetrap Torque of the mousetrap is used to pull nail out Bus begins to roll into a cup Pulley system displays flag Conservation of energy
Coming up with ideas Project the ball into the funnel Taking it Step by Step
Learned that simple precision is more important then complex imprecision Teamwork is key Planning should be done ahead of time Schedules need to be kept
