About the Project "The Jingle of Magnets"
This is a science project done to show an example of magnetism, kinetic energy and potential energy. The finale design came after 2 others failed at achieving the goals or were impractical as toys. The first fail design was called the "Coin Launcher" in which a coin would be launched by a rubber band across a path to then be caught by the magnet at the end but one can see the glaring design flaw in the toy with the mentioning of it. The second design was to use a magnet to guide a jingle bell into a opening but this idea died to as it was extremely hard to make it move without going strait into the magnet. My finale design came when trying to solve the problem of the second design by using a divider to stop the jingle from reaching the magnet but while testing it I noticed that when the jingle bell is pressed against the divider and the magnet is pulled back the jingle gets launched. This intrigued me so I decided to scrap a design for the finale time and used the launch mechanic to make a "golf course" to use the launch mechanic.

How to Make the "Golf Course"
What you are going to need is just a 24 centimeters tall, 30 1/2 centimeters long and a 9 1/2 centimeters wide box. Then you cut off the top and bottom of the box and use the extra pieces to make a arch and a box without the top. Then put the box at the end of the course with the arch going about 2/3 of the way.

The Rules of the Game
The way that this game works is similar to golf in the way that every time the magnet is launched that gives you a point and the main goal is to get to end of the course with the least amount of points as possible. To reach the end of the course one has to get the jingle behind the arch by launching it from the front of the box. After getting the jingle behind the gate one has launch the jingle into the box but this launch can be done from any angle. If one wants to compete with another person than each person has to complete the game individually and then they compare their scores to see which one has the lowest one.

Conclusion?
So far, this is the most I can talk about this small project but this page for now is finished.
