A. We plan on using a pulley and a lever. We plan to attach a cup to a piece of wood with string and hong it over a pulley. A ball will roll into the cup, push the cup down, raise the piece of wood, and the wood will hit a lever. This lever will have a marble sitting on it that will be released after it is activated.
B. We plan on including gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy, kinetic energy to gravitational energy, kinetic energy to electrical energy, and electrical energy to kinetic energy. The first energy transformation will be accomplished by having marbles start at a high position and gain speed as they go down tracks. Next, we can achieve KE to GPE by having a rolling marble enter the pulley system and release another marble that is at the top of another board. Then we can let the second marble go down a set of tracks that lead to a funnel pointed at a light switch. Finally, the light switch will turn on a fan and light bulb.
C. Liam and Bennett have been designing a ramp for the launching of the golf ball and have been working on adding an electrical component. Dante, Michael, and Colton have been working on making the track for the marble and placing them on the boards.
