The Great Marble Challenge Take #2


In Te Ngahere we have been creating marble ramps. We had a first run through than we got to re-attempt this challenge a few weeks later. For this challenge we got to give our marble ramp another shot and we could either start from scratch or improve our original ramp. My group decided to work on our 1st ramp. We could choose either a smaller marble or a large one. The marbles were a variable as the smaller marble stopped before the large one and the larger marble continued rolling after the small marble had stopped. We are doing to this to help us to prepare for the up-coming science fair his term. Something I did different this time was using a different sized marble and also we added glue to the bottom to slow the marble down.

My group did really well this time compared to the first time because the first attempt we did only got 7 points and this time we got 21 points which I think is a really good improvement.

The part I enjoyed the most was getting to test out other people's ramp and see how clear their instructions were. 

Have you ever created a marble run or ramp?
