WHAT IS IT?

  • My project consists of a spinning solar system
  • Who's sun lights up
  • All using simple machines
  • Simple machines being a wheel and axel
  • The Electricity being a light bulb and motor

WHAT'S IN IT?

  • Painted styrofoam planets
  • A wheel and axel to make it spin
  • Marbles
  • Several dowels
  • A light bulb and battery pack

HOW DOES IT WORK:SIMPLE MACHINE

  • A string is tied and wound around the middle
  • Turn the wheel and axel which the sting is tied to
  • This turns the wheel inside the container
  • Making it spin

HOW DOES IT WORK:ELECRTICAL

  • The wires on the battery pack
  • Connect to the light bulb
  • Completing the circuit
  • Making the "sun" light up

PROBLEMS AND CHANGES

  • The layout and foundation
  • Top heavy
  • Wouldn't spin at first

CONCLUSION

  • Teaches how to analyze for the best solution
  • Figure out alternatives when things go wrong
  • Putting simple machines and electricity together
  • Learning how to take a concept and put it into project by yourself
  • Made a model of a solar system that made the planets orbit the lite up sun
