The Great Marble Challenge
Last week in Te Ngahere we did a Marble Run Challenge. We had to build ramps with any random objects around the class with our groups. As well as building the ramp we learnt new things like variables and friction. Variables are very important throughout testing because any change that we made was a variable and something that needed to be consistently done. Also we learnt about friction. We learnt that rolling the marble on a table is a different surface than rolling it on the ground, because the mat has more friction so the ball can come to a complete stop but the table will let the ball roll until it falls off. Before test day we had to write a list of instructions to give to another group to build your ramp. The instructions had to be simple but easy to understand so they can build the ramp quickly and easily. In the end Missy and Anyah won the challenge and was given a big chocolate. I hope we do more experiments in the future relating to science and collaborating with others.

Kia ora team moana. The marble challenge looks really cool. I am a student at Tautoro school primary I really wanted to be there. Have you thought about making a race with the marbles. That would look really cool. blog you later if you would like to see my blog here's the link. https://tsnekoh.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteHello Team Moana. I am a studant from Tautoro school. I like the fact on how you were allowed to create a list of instructions to give to another team. But I didn't get what was happening in the pictures. Instead of using pictures you could make a video about how you did it. Have you thought about doing that? If you'd like to see my blog here is the link https://tschacewp.blogspot.com/
