WHAT DID YOU LEARN FROM THE EXPERIMENT?

Lena Young

• I learned that a marble that has more force – mass will go faster

• I learned that gravity is what makes the marble go and the speed to go really fast

• I learned that friction is the thing that makes the marble stop

• I learned that the bigger the marble the more acceleration it will have and the smaller the marble the slower it will go!

Luke Hoekwater

• I learned that a marble that has more mass will go faster and that if there was less friction the marble would travel at a very great speed and would have more acceleration and the speed of the marble would make the marble have more force.

Jordyn Maat

• I learned that it’s more important to work as a group then to work by yourself.

• And that the more mass and gravity there is on the ball the faster it will go down but the lighter it is the slower it will go!

• It’s important to know that the ball will go slower in the beginning and it gets faster as it goes!

• More Mass = Faster

• The friction on the ramp (rulers) will slow the marble down so if you ever try this experiment then you should have a steeper ramp.

HOW DOES THIS APPLY TO YOUR PINBALL MACHINE?

Jordyn Maat

• We are using marbles for our pinball machine so we got to experience what the marble can do and thats very important to know!

• The experiment helped us so we know how fast a marble can go so we know what slant to put the pinball machine on.

• When the ball is on the pinball machine we know when the ball is going to go fast and we know when the ball is going to go slow and you need to know that to build a pinball machine.

Lena Young

• For our pinball machine we might use marbles and maybe there will be a time limit to get

            the marble into the scoring hole.

Luke Hoekwater

• I can use a heavy ball to to make the game go faster and make it be harder.
