The Great Marble Challenge

This week in Room 32 we have started a great marble run challenge. We have six different groups made from our Garden to Table groups. Each group has to design a marble run and then decide how far away from the exit of their marble run the marble is going to go. They need to write very specific interruptions on how to use their marble run. 

After we finish our marble runs and a great set of instructions, we are going to have a competition day where another group has to use their marble run using their instructions. They are going to record how far from that specific point the marbles reached. Teams get points awarded if the marble is quite close to that point. 

Here are some pictures of our crazy marble runs progress. Students were only told what equipment to use and what their goal was. The rest was up to them.
