Machines
The week of October 24-28: Exploring 3 Classes of Levers and Mechanical Advantage
Marshmallow Launchers
October 27 and 28
Students will use the Engineer's Design Process to construct a simple machine with the use of a lever to launch a marshmallow. Students must identify the class of lever that they are using in their launching system. The mashmallows must launch a distance of .91 m, 1.5m, 4.5m, abd 7.6m.
