Real-World Examples
RESEARCH
Resource 1: Video
The video featured an inclined plane made of: toy blocks, a playing card, toy car track, and a paper ramp
|
Resource 2: Website
This website tutorial showed how to create ramps/inclined planes from cardboard and tape. I learned that I do not need anything more than a cardboard cereal box or a paper towel roll.

BRAINSTORM
Brainstorm Idea #1
INPUT:
The INPUT is the initial "start" of this segment. Think of a way that you could start this transition into this simple machine's action.
|
PROCESS:
The PROCESS is the main action of this segment. What action is taking place for the machine to continue working?
|
OUTPUT:
The OUTPUT is the final result of the input and process. What is the final step for the machine to take before it begins onto the next element in your machine.

Materials Needed: In this section, you will list out the materials needed to build/create this. If you need to, you may need to write in replacement items, as you may not have access to them at home.
Brainstorm Idea #2
Materials Needed: Marble, toilet paper roll or paper towel roll. If I cannot find a roll, I can always use a cereal box and curve the cardboard.
