I asked the boys what they thought would happen when i flicked the marble.
Marble ruler experiment.
Experiment 2 different heights.
Measure the depth of the hole made.
Choose different heights from which to drop the marble.
Cell phone tripod 54 inch travel t.
First we lined up three marbles in the middle and one marble at the edge.
An example of potential energy is a stretched out rubber band the farther you stretch it the more potential energy it has.
Measure the time for the blue marble to cover the 30 0 cm along the flat ruler.
Which marble made the deepest hole.
They thought that the marbles in the middle would roll away.
Calculate the gravitational potential energy of the marble at the starting point.
For this experiment all you need is a ruler with a groove in the middle and some marbles.
Conserving energy have students explore potential and kinetic energy by releasing a marble on a simulated roller coaster.
Roll the inbound blue marble down the track by itself releasing the marble from 0 0 cm at the top of the ramp track.
You can also videotape the marble and use the measuring stick to measure the distance the marble travels in successive frames each standard video frame is 1 30 second.
Measure the mass of the marble.
The two marbles below show the distance over which the measure.
Popular marble experiments help students discover basic principles of energy mass velocity and momentum using ramps rulers and cardboard tubes.
Measure the height of the starting point for the track.
Potential energy is the energy that is stored in an object.
In this experiment the inclined plane makes work easier by allowing gravity without any help from you to move the marble down the ramp.
Drop the same marble from different heights.
