Physics Final Project Design a build project or experiment (…like the Egg Drop project we did) Collect data Write a report using the guidelines provided Math & Written component

Build a Catapult that hits a target Example video Example video 2 Example video 3 Can connect any of the content units! Catapult needs to be functional. Projectile (marshmallow, marble, ect) needs to accurately hit a target (i.e. in a cup)

Build a marble Roller Coaster Example video Example video 2 Can connect any of the content units! Marble needs to be able to travel all the way through the track and land into a cup

Rube Goldberg Machine Example Video Example Video 2 Example Video—AP physics Example Video 4 Can connect any of the content units! Simple machine with at least 3 energy transfers that “completes a task”
