Good Afternoon!

Today’s sign in focused on speed using a variable such as a marble. A few friends thought that the ramp that was closer to the ground would allow the marble to travel the fastest. So, we did our own research today.

Jackson and a few friends experimented with a ramp this morning in various places throughout the house.

We made two ramps that were the exact same length. Jackson held a ramp closer to the ground while Addi held a ramp at more of an incline. At the count of three, they each let go of their marble at the same time. We realized that the marble hit the ground first using the steeper inclined ramp.

Jackson and Addi experimented with every incline possible. We also timed how long it took for the marble to hit the ground at differing inclines.

Science: K.3.2 Investigate that things move in different ways, such as fast, slow, etc.

Afterwards, Lucy got a group together to play ‘teacher’! She sat down on the bench and had arranged stools for her students. Taking turns, children got to write on the chalkboard. Jackson and Addi helped their younger friends write their name.
