Marble Run

Students made a marble run using paper towel rolls, tape, glue, marbles, paint and a cardboard base.

Students had to think about the angles and plan ahead with group members in order to successfully build a secure, free standing structure.   
Holes were cut in the towers for the shoots to rest in. Each group made sure that it was tilted downward to ensure the marbles would roll down.
Students had fun designing their cardboard tubes with various paints to create their own unique towers.
Everyone enjoyed creating, testing, problem solving, then creating and testing again! 
All of the towers were marked out, then glued and taped down to create a strong and stable base.
