Air Hydraulic Marble Mazes
Using the Engineering Design Process, students will design and create a marble maze out of cardboard and cardstock, making sure to include all the required elements. They will then create an air hydraulic system using syringes and tubing that they will use to maneuver the marble through the maze. Students will then describe how Newton's Laws of Motion are applied to the marble.
