This is an experiment in stored potential energy. You will be putting your energy into twisting the sticks into a “cobra weave.” Tension builds up in the system of woven sticks. When you let go, the potential energy turns kinetic. Fun ensues.
MATERIALS
- large craft sticks
TOOLS
- your hands and maybe someone elses
- safety glasses suggested
VARIABLES
- time/patience
- tension
- length of weave
What else can you weave together like this?
