1. The document provides instructions for a lab on crumple zones. Students will design and test crumple zones made of paper, tape, rubber bands and string to protect a block in a cart from tipping over during crashes. 2. The document discusses factors that must be considered when designing crumple zones like materials and how cushioning can be described scientifically as increasing stopping distance or time. 3. Formulas are provided that show as distance or time increase during impact, force decreases, helping to decrease the risk of injury in a collision.
