Project: Perpetual Motion Machine

            <div><p>Objectives: Students don't learn much, other than the science of perpetual motion and that a device like this cannot actually exist due to the laws of thermodynamics.</p><p>Audiences: All ages can enjoy this</p><p>Preparation: - Need 8 marbles or small metal / heavy balls<br>Students should know that devices like this cannot actually exist. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. This device, if it could rotate forever, would violate the first and second laws of thermodynamics.</p><p>Steps: </p><ol><li>Make it</li><li>Buy the 8 balls</li><li>Load the balls into the crescents</li><li>Start the rotation</li><li>Voila!</li></ol><p>Results: Students should have a brief understanding of the laws of thermodynamics after creating this.</p></div>
