MOMENTUM MARBLE LAB

This lab report activity allows students to investigate momentum using marbles and a ruler. Working individually or in pairs, students will roll marbles down a ruler and observe the outcomes of various collisions. The report includes essential sections: Materials, Procedure, Observations, Analysis, and Conclusion, encouraging critical thinking about momentum transfer. Through guided questions, students explore how marbles interact upon collision, understand the principles of momentum, and consider real-life examples. This hands-on experiment deepens comprehension of physical science concepts.

Presentation Transcript

  1. MOMENTUM MARBLE LAB - Each person Write an ENTIRE Lab Report (all 10 sections) you may work with up to 2 others MATERIALS- 5 marbles, ruler, pen / pencil paper - PROCEDURE 1. Put the ruler on a flat surface. 2. Place 1 marble on the ruler. 3. Roll a second marble down the groove of the ruler so it hits the first one. 4. Repeat this test. 5. Set 2 marbles on the ruler. Roll a third one into them. 6. Try rolling at least 4 different combos of marbles down the ruler. Record the different combos. You can even roll more than one marble at once. OBSERVATIONS: Record the table in your Observations section ANALYSIS and CONCLUSION questions 1-What happens in #3 and #5? 2-Do you get the same results in #4 3- What are you observations about how the marbles moved when they were hit? 4- All of your marbles are the same size. What do you think would happen if you rolled a bigger marble into a smaller one? 5- When the marbles hit each other, the momentum moves from one marble to another. Can you think of another example of when momentum is transferred?
