Inclined Plane activities

After learning about inclined planes, we had to do activities to go along with....so, we did some marble rolling for ART!

If you hold your tongue just right and move the tray like this, the marbles roll! :)

Even the sensory table had rolling - I pulled out tubes, connectors and encouraged the children to put them together in ways that made the water roll out and boy did they have fun!!
A teacher had to help stabilize this water tube!

Let's try it this way

A square tube - thanks Ms. Anna!

And small group activities even involved rolling - Ms. Bethany's group tested marbles and how fast they would roll down the ramp, and then measured to see how far they traveled. 


And finally, WOOD art with loads and loads of wood glue - dripping and puddling everywhere!!

Can you say drippy glue?

Teamwork!!

Here's my creation

All smiles!

The longest worked on and drippiest creation of ALL times! 
Here are some of this guy's quotes as he was working:
"This glue is sure dippy-dippy. This is the drip station. And this is gluetastic!" Gotta love fun with words!!
