Roller Coaster Marble Run
In this hands-on lesson, students will have a teacher read aloud: "Rosie Revere, Engineer" and discuss the importance of perseverance and imagination while creating, building, and testing. They will work in teams of 3 to create Roller Coaster Marble Runs out of thin foam pool noodles cut lengthwise. Students will use masking or painter's tape to assemble foam channels in various configurations to explore force and motion. They will record and share findings in a variety of ways, based on choice.
