    Newton's Cradle is an apparatus that demonstrates conservation of momentum and energy through a series of solid steel balls suspended in a line that are set into motion. When one ball is pulled back and released, it strikes the stationary ball at the other end of the line and the force is transferred through the other balls, causing the last ball to lift and fall with the same amount of force as the initial impact. The testing criteria involved pulling back different numbers of balls from different angles and observing that the force and motion transferred accurately through the line of balls.

    Testing Criteria Results (5pts each)
    Pull one marble back to a 45 deg. angle and The marbles on each side go up back and
    release forth
