Exploring Energy Concepts through Innovative Marble Ramp Projects

Join John Hall, Michael Hinricher, Shannon Kelly, and Jake Reveta in their exciting project "Quick Thinking." This hands-on exploration utilizes materials such as plywood, foam ramps, and light bulb kits to demonstrate concepts of potential and kinetic energy, projectile motion, and rotational dynamics. Participants will develop flying mouse traps and marbles to experience firsthand how energy transforms through movement. By engaging with these projects, students can understand complex physical concepts in an entertaining and practical way.
