Chinese New Year Decorations at the Portman Hotel
Abi spent most of Saturday working on her physics project. She had to make a Rube Goldberg style invention. She was required to create a series of energy
transfers that end in a "useful" task.
Her energy series starts when she calls her cell phone which vibrates and falls onto a lever that spins a wheel that drops a marble that slides down a ramp that hits dominos that fall onto a chopstick that flips a rubber band that makes a lego car move forward that knocks over a tack that holds a weight that drops onto a small pair of scissors that cuts fabric. Wow!!!



The final project.....
