Newton's Cradle Design Challenge: Part 1
This is part one of a design challenge where students are asked to brainstorm a device that allows energy to be transferred for as long as possible, similar to a Newton's Cradle. Students use the engineering design process as they begin the initial phases of design. They are challenged to think critically and work collaboratively within a small group.
