Program Description
Event Details
Get ready for the ultimate mashup of physics, engineering, and sugar in this deliciously challenging event! Your mission: design and build a wave machine that creates the most impressive wave motion using only candy and basic materials.
Learning Objectives:
Understand how energy transfers through connected objects in a kinetic chain, including how potential energy converts to kinetic energy as the wave propagates
Learn the basic principles of wave motion, including amplitude (wave height), frequency (how fast it moves), and wavelength (distance between peaks), and demonstrate these concepts in their candy wave design
