👉 The physics project involves investigating the principles of energy transfer and conservation through a hands-on experiment. Students might design and build simple machines, such as levers or pulleys, to study how mechanical advantage affects the efficiency of energy transfer. They could measure the distance or force required to lift weights using different machine configurations, analyzing how these changes impact work done and energy input. By applying the laws of conservation of energy, students observe that energy is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another, such as potential energy in a raised weight or kinetic energy in moving parts. This project not only reinforces theoretical concepts but also develops practical skills in measurement, data analysis, and scientific inquiry.
