Concord Consortium: Stem Resources: Building a Zip Line

Curated by ACT

For this interactive, students plan, create, and test a zip line that will transport a hard-boiled egg without breaking it. They will make improvements on their design based on data about its performance. A motion sensor is required in order to record and graph the quality of the egg's ride. Includes career connection, and a question for further investigation. Requires free registration in order to save work, and a download of the interactive's software.
