Marble race experiment.

Fun science experiment marble powered race cars. So i decided why not. Fluids a fluid is a liquid or gas which can flow and changes its shape at a steady rate. 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.

In subsequent testings we added maple syrup shampoo and some different cooking oils. A kitchen science project by science buddies. Potential energy is the energy that is stored in an object. أعرض هذا باللغة العربية.

In this experiment the inclined plane makes work easier by allowing gravity without any help from you to move the marble down the ramp. By science buddies on august 27 2015. Honey corn syrup and molasses. Some friends suggested i try to post a marble race on youtube.

So this video was made by an amateur. An example of potential energy is a stretched out rubber band the farther you stretch it the more potential energy it has. 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. Repeat the experiment 2 more times for each liquid so there is enough data to take an average.
