Exploring Newton's Laws Using the Exploratorium's Fan Cart (12:05 - 12:55)
Fan Cart (Exploring Newton's 3rd Law)
Understanding by Engineering Challenge (1:05 - 1:55)
Students explore the behavior of two pendulums linked together. They then design a pendulum system to knock over a domino 3-4 seconds after being let go. Finally, if time permits students explore methods of decoupling coupled pendulums.
