This racing reindeer exercise works properly exterior and indoors when you have sufficient area. It is nice for studying in regards to the impact of gradient on velocity and friction.
You will want
String or skinny rope
Two bathroom roll tubes
Pens, tape and paper to embellish
Directions
- Lower two lengths of string or skinny rope lengthy sufficient to create an extended zipline.
- Adorn every bathroom roll tube to seem like a reindeer.
- Thread every string by means of a rest room roll reindeer.
- Tie the string or rope between two factors, one greater than the opposite.
- Create a steeper gradient with one string than the opposite.
- Maintain each reindeer bathroom rolls on the high of the string and let go concurrently.
- Time how lengthy every reindeer takes to journey down the zipline.
- Experiment with various kinds of string or rope or by altering the incline of the zip line.
Experiment Variables
Sort of zip wire
The incline of the zip wire
Weight of reindeer
To check one variable, all different variables should stay the identical. In the event you change the incline, preserve the kind of zip wire and reindeer the identical.
Racing Reindeer Extension Concepts
- Construct two zip traces and have a race!
- Add bubble wrap to the within of the bathroom roll to seek out out if growing the friction between the bathroom roll and the string slows the reindeer down.
