Time Release Zipline
by Hope Loveland
How can you get objects from one location to a specific dropping point using a cable? Students utilize the Engineering Design Process and their learning of Newton's Laws of Motion, slope, mass and acceleration to create a time release zipline. This lesson pairs nicely with the novel "Egypt Game," but is not necessary.
