Science: Fonterra

In the last holidays I spent a lovely day at MOTAT.
 Fonterra, although they have a  bad rep at the at mo, put on a great science fair. I managed to put take some pictures that got me thinking about Science, forces, friction and energy.
Swinging pendulum. Watch how the force is transferred.

Roll the two balls from different heights and see them ALWAYS meet in the middle.

Roll two marbles from the top. Which marble reaches the bottom first.
