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:
- In this, children are basically trying to make a roller coaster.
- 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.
- 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.
- (You can show pictures of roller coasters in case the kids don't get the idea.)
Questions to be asked:
- What's the difference between a straight slide and one that curves or rotates?
- Can a pebble go upward on these slides?
- How is it possible in real-life slides or roller coasters?
- How will you make sure that your roller coaster doesn't fall off when a pebble is run through it?
