Movement & Forces: Marble Run (GRAVITY)

The beautiful bit about encouraging creativity is that the kids are always coming up with new ideas. The tricky bit is storing all of them! So going into this assignment, we agreed that the marble runs would be dismantled once the week was complete.

The big kids set to work creating runs with cardboard, tubes, levers! You can even limit the selection to 'tools from nature' including sticks, stones, chestnuts, acorns etc. (perfect for Fall!) We encouraged them to make the runs 'tricky' and offer obstacles.

The younger kids used Magnatiles and a magnetic white board to create very temporary runs with great succcess!
