Explanation:
A: you hit the switch that knocks a domino down to start the track **//potential-kinetic//** B: the dominoes go up the stairs then back down the stairs **//potential to kinetic//** C: the dominoes curve around goes up the stairs and back down **//kinetic to greater kinetic to lower kinetic to higher kinetic//** D: the dominoes curve around //**kinetic to lower kinetic**// E: the dominoes go straight then up the stairs and stops //**kinetic to potential**// F: the ball is hit by the dominoes the ball own a ramp and hits more dominoes and then the ball stops //**potential to kinetic to potential**// G: the dominoes hit the circle which makes the dominoes stop the circle then trigger the other dominoes **//kinetic to potential to kinetic//** H: the dominoes then go and hit a trigger to trigger the marble //**kinetic to potential to kinetic**// I: the rocket is then shot off by a marble hitting a trigger on the bottom of the station to make the rocket fly //**potential to kinetic**// J: the rocket hits the computer that is a sleep and turns it on //**kinetic to potential to kinetic**//

Explanation:
A. the ball goes down the ramp from potential to kinetic energy. B. the ball hits the dominoes and the dominoes fall creating kinetic energy. C. the dominoes hit the car putting the car in motion. D. the car hits the ball going from potential to kinetic. E. the ball rolls down the ramp. F. the ball flies from the ramp. G. The ball hits the dominoes. H. the dominoes fall onto the laptop.

Design: Explanation: A. The candle burns the rope to thermal energy. B. Releasing the car from potential energy to kinetic energy. C. The car hits the ball to potential energy. D. Ball rolls down the ramp falling to the cup kinetic energy to potential energy. E. The cups falls over releasing the ball to the dominoes kinetic energy to potential energy. F. Dominoes fall kinetic to potential energy. G The last domino pushes the fish weight to potential. H. The fish weight falls kinetic to potential. I. The fish weight wakes up the lap top.

Design :

Explanation:

A:The candle burns the string and lets the hammer lose. B:The dominoes get hit with the hammer and hits the ball. C:The ball then goes down the ramp and falls in the cup. D:The cup slides down the pole. E:The cup hits the dominoes. F:The dominoes hit a ball. G:The ball hits more dominoes. H:The dominoes fall onto the computer and wake it up.

Design:

Explanation: A) Eli drop the ball and goes down the ramp B) Ball hits domino C) Domino hits cup with water D) cup of water hits over and goes down ramp E) water falls in another cup and cup lower F) which pulls a string which is tied to a Popsicle stick G) ball is on top of Popsicle stick and falls off onto ramp H) ball goes down the ramp and hits a domino which hits a domino on computer and turns it on

Jennifer, Cory, Shae, Amos Design Explanations A-The candle burns the string which is thermal energy. B- Activates the Newton's Cradle C-Knocks over a series of domino's D-Ball rolls and tips over more domino's E-Domino's fall rolls another ball F- Ball rolls and tips over another set of domino's G- Domino's tip over another ball H- Ball tips over domino's into a ramp I - Domino slides down the ramp knocking over more domino's J- Domino lands on computer.

Design

Explanation:

A: dropped ball from the ramp - potential to kinetic B: the wooden ball hit the marble -potential to kinetic C: the marble hit another marble going down the ramp -potential to kinetic C: the ball hit another marble and rolled down the track - potential to kinetic D:the ball knocked down the dominoes - potential to kinetic E:when the dominoes fell the woke up the laptop - potential to kinetic
