I am making a toy that represents the transfer of energy.
some ideas that went through use were:
cross bow
pro: pretty cool
con: many people doing it, not creative, dangerous-not very well for educational purposes
rubber band car
pro: easy to use and understand.
con: easy to break
handshake the light bulb
pro: can make the students feel the consuming of energy/resistance there
con:just not very cool and creative
and a self-design that includes mixing the structure of saving energy in a music box and a light bulb together.
pro: very unique, probably only in the school every existed
con: no one has done it online, so if I had a logical mistake, no one can correct me
in the end, we decided to use the rubber band car because it is easy to make, reliable and the energy transfer is observable with the naked eye.
three videos we watched were:
my targeted audience is students who just begin learning about the concept of energy and power.( this product can also help represent how energy became power). As energy is not observable by the naked eye and is a new topic, somethings it is challenging to understand as a student. the product can show the energy transfer and is fun in the same time,
