Post+AP+Project+Resources

//** Explore the links below. Start thinking about your own building project. I have available lots of K"nex, Lego, robotics kits, radio controlled cars and flying toys among other things. **// You will build, test or experiment with a mechanical and/or electrical device of your own design, making or choosing. You can build something of your own or experiment with something already built. You can do one or two projects. Here are some ideas of things you can choose to do on your own as well as some activities which we will all do together :

The Way Things Go: [] (you already saw this) From Honda car parts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWk9N92-wvg [] Clockwork: [] (you already saw this) Claw machine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qGyzFcIxMc Coaster: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pC5b0txvSpk
 * Rube Goldberg devices**: using as many forms of energy in the most ridiculous way possible.
 * K'Nex devices:**

 * Robotics:**
 * EV3 Lego**: we have 6 new kits. Website->

 * Parallax BOEbots** (part of Digital Electronics course): we have 6 of these kits

We will all go outside to try X-Zylos and Boomerangs. You may want to build one or design an experiment with one. X-Zylo advertisement http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9U3xFu0MIdo and home-made http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1UNgOVS5l8 Frisbee: Bill Nye http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuHKAV_Y-L8 Wiffleball curves: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ik0IPEIV8sU Boomerang Physics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADJKsLEAOHo
 * Flying Devices:**

Lab report: May : Tell which devices fly straight, which curve and why. Cite your observations with the Boomerang, X-Zylo and the Whiffle Ball.
