Our product  , Fan-Off, turns off a fan . We made a ramp with a plate on the end  of the ramp . A ball would push the plate into a bucket . The bucket will fall and turn off the fan. So our team project could help us by  turning off the fan that is really high on the ceiling.

    Chloe, Tyler, & Adriana,

    I like that you had to focus on both the height of the fan and the amount of weight it would take to turn it off. Very creative and useful invention.

    I wonder if you had to do a few trials to figure out how much weight would be needed for the bucket to pull the cord. Such an engaging experiment in physics!
