Reflecting on our week:

A few fun action pics of our Motion Mission!

Students started working on designing ramps using paper towel tubes and tape. The assignment is to create a ramp that will send a marble the farthest distance. Every group has come up with a different design but the process of building, with success and failures, proved to take more time than we had left in our school day. We will pick up where we left off on Monday.
