Marble race experiment.

In this fun science experiment kids create paper race cars out of index cards. The goal is to design a car that will go the farthest when powered by a marble that travels down a ramp and pushes the car across a flat surface. By science buddies on august 27 2015. In this experiment the inclined plane makes work easier by allowing gravity without any help from you to move the marble down the ramp.

Potential energy is the energy that is stored in an object. Expand on the experiment by estimating how long it will take for the marble to sink to the bottom of the jar. So this video was made by an amateur. Some friends suggested i try to post a marble race on youtube.

Measure down about 2 cm from the top of each glass with the ruler and mark the 2 cm location with the water soluble marker. Then set a timer and find out how close your estimate was. Repeat the experiment up to this step starting from preparing the graduated cylinder to measure the viscosity of each liquid for each of the remaining test liquids. In subsequent testings we added maple syrup shampoo and some different cooking oils.

Fluids a fluid is a liquid or gas which can flow and changes its shape at a steady rate. Preparing your glasses for the marble race. Matching clear containers i used our jumbo test tubes it adds to the feeling of official scientist status at least two different liquids we tested water vegetable oil baby oil and corn syrup. Timing the marble works best when using liquids that have a high viscosity ie.

Using painter s tape to protect your walls tape the tubes end to end at a slightly sloping angle against a wall. So i decided why not. An example of potential energy is a stretched out rubber band the farther you stretch it the more potential energy it has. Fluids will form and spread away if not contained by another material the difference between fluids and solids solids fluids molecules are tightly packed together molecules can freely move.

Problem is i have no experience making or editing any kinds of videos. A kitchen science project by science buddies. If you would like to create a zigzag or other more complex route with the cardboard tubes you can experiment with cutting notches in the ends of the tubes so that a marble can drop down from one tube into the next one and so on. Honey corn syrup and molasses.

Stop the timer when the marble touches the bottom of the cylinder. Simultaneously drop the marble and start the stopwatch. Repeat the experiment 2 more times for each liquid so there is enough data to take an average.
