FRANKLIN — Students in Danielle Emery’s science class met the challenge to build a smooth, yet fast zip line for Lego people.
Using the physics of force and motion, students harnessed gradients, weights, and motion to create consistent movement for their zipping Lego people.
Some of the building materials used included fishing line, marbles, tape, rulers, cardboard, and Lego people.
