The Step by Step

To start the marble starts by using gravity to roll down the ramps. We used the cups to redirect the force down the next ramp

The marble then rolls into the coke bottle which takes the marble to the tube and gravity pulls it through the tube.

Materials: Card stock ramps, plastic cups, water bottle, insulator tube, tape and hot glue)

The marble rolls down the tube to dominos. The dominos knock down one by one. The last one hits the roll of tape.

Materials: Popsicle sticks, dominos, roll of duck tape

The tape then gets knocked to the ramp (we used a weight inside the roll to help momentum)

The tape rolls down the ramp

Materials: Ramp, meter sticks, metal weight, card board

The tape then knocks into the car. The cars wheels and axels roll across the floor

On the car is a lit up flash light that uses a battery to run.

Materials: Car, flash light, batteries, card board

The flash light is focused on a small section of paper with a secret note. As the light gets closer it narrow’s to just show the secret message

Materials: Piece of a paper and pen

The secret notes for you is an awesome song :

Never Gonna Give you up

Never gonna let you down

Never gonna run around or desert you.

These lyrics help describe the actions in the machine
