MP1 turned into a construction site today. The design challenge: repurpose items to create a challenging arcade game for young people.
Examining forces at work in arcade games! In our first game "Whack it Out!" we saw many contact and non-contact forces at work, including gravity and friction. Maisie achieved a class record of 6 points in 60 seconds.
Groups designed and constructed a paper bridge, modifying the properties of an A4 sheet to make it more rigid. We discovered the corrugated designs were able to hold significantly more weight! Today we commenced our properties of materials unit with a slimy investigation!
