Another post to show you what we’ve been up to this afternoon: a cardboard tube marble trail!

Guided by Melinda, friends worked together to the tape cardboard tubes together. It was a trial and error process as we attempted to find the right angle and slope for the marble run.

When it was ready, friends waited to receive a marble from Melinda.

Then, they took turns climbing up into the habitrail, putting their marble down the cardboard tube and then crawling to the finish line to see their marble go into the basket!

A marble in action:

It’s been a great lesson in patience and the scientific process… it took quite a few tries and do-overs to make a smooth trip for the marbles. Friends are still experimenting!

Hope your Friday afternoon is as fun-filled as ours! –Jessica
