DemoRoll-Back Can
Resource Guide
It slows, stops, and rolls back by itself.
Ask students to predict what will happen. Roll it away across the floor/table and let go.
Key idea: A hidden weight twists a rubber band, storing energy that later unwinds.
Ask: Where did the can get the energy to come back?
Safety and cleanup: Keep internal weight secured.
