Domino effect (Montreal)
The giant machine for the small ball
Create a path for balls using simple but ingenious machines (the inclined plan, lever, pulley, winch, and wedge) to produce an amazing domino effect: young scientists will rise to the challenge by assembling ten platforms of a large wooden machine. Understanding a complex physical phenomenon becomes child’s play!
Objectives at the elementary level:
- Describe the use of simple machines.
- Recognize simple machines (lever, inclined plane, screw, pulley, winch and wheel) used in daily life.
- Identify the necessary elements to assemble the machine.
- Properly install simple machines (lever, inclined plane, screw, pulley, winch and wheel).
- Describe energy transformations from one of its form into another (e.g. potential energy into kinetic energy).
