Obstacle Course


Children create slides with turns and bumps using cardboards for marbles to glide through, exploring motion, speed, and cause-and-effect through hands-on play and experimentation.



Materials :
  • Cardboard
  • Scissors
  • Masking Tape
  • Marbles

Challenges:


  1. In this, children are basically trying to make a roller coaster.
  2. We can have a competition between teams to create a slide where the pebble has to reach the bottom slower than the other team's slide.
  3. We can also let the kids create a fun slide they'd love to see in an amusement or fun park. It'll be exciting to see what creative ideas they come up with.
  4. (You can show pictures of roller coasters in case the kids don't get the idea.)

Questions to be asked:


  1. What's the difference between a straight slide and one that curves or rotates?
  2. Can a pebble go upward on these slides?
  3. How is it possible in real-life slides or roller coasters?
  4. How will you make sure that your roller coaster doesn't fall off when a pebble is run through it?
