Let the students create scenes in Algodoo using the suggestions you came up with together or let them use their own ideas. What properties hold the pyramid together? Let the students come up with suggestions.ĭiscuss how this can be visualized and explored in Algodoo. Understand that different materials have different coefficient of frictionĭiscuss how it is possible to build a pyramid of marbles.
Have a basic understanding of how static forces interact.Choose different materials when creating marbles. Assign different material to the pyramid in order to investigate the influence of friction upon the stability. In this lesson the students will investigate the forces that are interacting in a marble pyramid, like friction and normal forces.
