Students explore potential and kinetic energy in this two-part lesson module that integrates engineering design and physical science. Part I introduces the history of gumball machines and includes a short activity to build a very simple gumball slide. Part II gets more complex, as students work in teams to design and test an "interactive" gumball machine that meets constraints:
1) stay on a track, 2) have at least one loop, 3) be self-supporting, and 4) dispense a gumball. Allow 4 class periods to complete all activities. The lesson follows a module format that includes objectives and learner outcomes, problem sets, student guides, recommended reading, illustrated procedures, worksheets, and background information about the engineering connections. The collection is maintained by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
