Force and Motion

 During science class we were talking about the ways things move.  For example:  forward and backward, side to side, zigzag, in a straight line, and around a curve.  So I thought it would be fun to make a game.  The children glued 5 colored strips anywhere on a plate making sure a marble could rolled under it.  

Then, they added a black dot to be the starting point.

Next, they made a card for each strip by coloring a shape with the matching colors.

Last, they played the game.  They mixed up the card and then laid them out.  They put the marble on the starting dot and tried to roll it through the strips in the order of the cards.

I made a mistake.  I should have had them make them earlier in the day and let the glue dry longer before they played with them.  I noticed several children had strips come off during dismissal.  I am sorry!!
