Our design started with a marble, and that marble rolls down a ramp to hit dominoes. These dominoes hit another marble, so that that marble rolls down a funnel hitting a mouse trap. When the marble hits the mouse trap it goes off; therefore, the mouse trap pulls a popsicle stick. This causes a golf ball and two marbles to roll down a ramp. Books were lined together to make a path, so that they hit another marble. This marble rolls down a funnel onto a open book. This open book makes a path for the marble to roll and hit a jenga block. When the jenga block falls it takes a line of beads with it connected to a popsicle stick. When the popsicle stick falls it causes a pepsi to roll down a ramp, and hit a block of wood connected to a popsicle stick. …show more content…
For our mousetrap to go off we had to make sure the dominoes hit the next marble properly, and we also hd to use a funnel with a toilet paper roll duct taped to the bottom of it that way the trap would go off. We had to set up the popsicle stick on a paper towel roll above the mousetrap; the popsicle stick was connected to the mousetrap by a string. When the mouse trap went off the popsicle stick moved off the ramp. This caused a golf ball and two marbles to roll down the ramp; therefore, the golf ball and two marbles went through a path made of books to hit another marble. This marble went down a funnel held up by a popsicle stick attached to a open book, allowed it to roll and hit a jenga block. This block was connected to beads, and when it fell it allowed the beads to fall. A popsicle stick was connected to beads and was a stopper for the pepsi can. The can was on a ramp that was at a slight angle, so the popsicle stick had to be set up a certain way. When the marble that caused to beads to fall with the popsicle stick fell it caused the can to start to roll; even though the popsicle stick was there. For us to get the quarter in the pig was time consuming. You had to set the block up right so when the pepsi can it it would take the popsicle stick with it. The popsicle stick kept the car from rolling down the ramp, but sometimes it would roll off the side so we put string to guide it towards the quarter. Once that part was fixed we had to take two playing cards to make a smaller place to insure that the quarter would go in the money pig and not be stopped. The rest of our project consisted of a table with a candy box at one end and on top of it a toilet paper roll was tapped to it causing be an angle, so that the ball would roll down it hitting the dominoes. Those dominoes would hit a marble, we had to tape a
