Rube Goldberg – Press Play!

Final Design Written Explanation A. To begin, the operator uses a magnet to pull the train off the platform. This demonstrates magnetic energy. B. The train then goes down an inclined plane using the wheels and axels on the train and mechanical energy. This demonstrates an energy transfer of magnetic energy to mechanical energy. C. […]

Biotechnology and Genetics (Cloning)

There are two main types of cloning.  There is molecular cloning, where scientists create multiple copies of a gene to study and there is reproductive cloning, where scientists make a copy of an entire multicellular organism.  A clone is an exact genetic copy of an organism; however, clones only share genetic similarities.  Clones may not […]

Scientific Method & Paper Airplanes

What did you learn? I learned a lot about the scientific method and paper airplanes during our Paper Airplane lab.  I learned how important it is to do multiple trials for each time you manipulate the independent variable because you can get varied results each time.  For our largest paper airplane, we got our shortest […]
