Momentum Physics Pool Tables

This activity is adapted from High Tech High

You will be building a table top pool table.
Requirements

The Detailed Sketch must:
-- Be scaled-down from a full size pool table
-- Be no bigger than 65 cm * 130 cm
-- Be drawn on the computer (I would suggest Google Sketch)
-- Represent the ball return system that is gravity fed (not simply pockets)

The Pool Table must:
-- Include handmade billiard balls (golf balls allowed), cue sticks, & racking triangle
-- Be functional

The Ball Return System must:
-- Gather ALL the billiard balls in one area
-- Be easily accessible by the players
-- Be seamlessly integrated with the pool table

Step one: Make a materials list (cardboard is marginally useful, plywood is better), assign roles, and create a sketch of your design (please submit the sketch to me via email)
Step two: Create your pool table by Monday, 12/16 and bring to class
Step three: Notes and Ideas
