Amazing Newton’s Cradle From Cardboard

Making a Newton's Cradle out of cardboard is a fun and educational project. Here's a step-by-step guide to making a working model using cardboard, marbles, and a few other common materials.

List of Materials:

1. Cardboard
2. Marble ball
3. Bamboo sticks
4. Glue
5. Cloth yarn

Base: Cut a rectangular piece of cardboard for the base. Approximately 12x10 cm.

Frame: For the frame, cut two vertical pieces of cardboard about 25 cm long and about 5 cm wide.

Glue the base pieces (the two side panels) to the base, making sure they are upright and evenly spaced.

Then connect the two ends with two bus sticks.

Select 5 small balls of the same size. Then attach them to the marbles with fabric thread and glue.

Attach 5 marbles at a distance of 2 cm. The balls should hang parallel to each other, and all the balls should be approximately the same length.

After assembling, test your Newton's Cradle a few times to make sure it's working as expected. It may take some fine-tuning to get the perfect motion.

With these steps, you'll have a fully functional Newton's Cradle made of cardboard that demonstrates the physics of momentum and energy transfer!
