1. Team Awesome

2. Ping Pong Dunk
Our goal: make a contraption that moves a ping-pong ball out of water to a different container
Parts were made from Wal*Mart specials and sticks from Melrose Courtyard

3. Our Design
Allow glass ball to roll down ramp into a container placed on a lever
Lever pulls down which causes fishing wire to pull water bottle up
Water pours into funnel and cup
Platform and ping-pong ball float to top and ball falls into next container

4. ~Energy Conversions~ Potential energy converted to kinetic by ramps
Transferred by>>>lever!!!
Creates tension in string which releases potential energy of H20
Force of water pushes platform up to release potential energy of ball
Ball then falls into a container

5. Conclusion
Issues: finding a ball with the correct mass needed to pull water bottle, creating the fulcrum, making the ping-pong ball fall in a designated direction
Learned that designing things and creating the design are much harder than it seems
