Marble Mayhem on Mad Scientist Day!


Instructions for your mad marble experiment:

1. Build a small building with the blocks and attach the ramp.

2. Choose one of the marbles and send it down the ramp 10 times.

3. Put a sticker on where it ended each time.

4. Repeat with a different sized marble (10 times).

5. Now have a guess where the third marble will finish. Were you right? What did you base your prediction on?

6. Repeat the experiment by changing something- e.g. change the slope of the ramp or the ground it is on.

7. Use a computer and try this exercise on forces.
