    Deformed body energy

     

    Aims- Create a system for the use of deformed body energy. When you stretch a rubber band it stores potential energy. You can attach your rubber band to a simple machine—a wheel and axle—to build a simple rubber band–powered car.

    Gas Pressure

     

    Aims- Shoot a water bottle in the air by the pressure in it.   As you pump air into the bottle pressure builds up inside. If you keep pumping, the force of the air pushing on the water eventually becomes strong enough to force the cork out of the bottle allowing water to rush out in one direction while the the bottle pushes back in the other direction. This forces the rocket upwards.
