This morning, we discovered more about motion in our goal of moving a ping pong ball down the hallway. Students used a variety of materials and strategies to innovate new ways to get the ping pong ball in motion.
Long ramps experimenting with different levels of friction.
Dominoes provide a nice force.
Some groups experimented with corners and turns.
A large slope provided a large force and more speed.
A pendulum provided a gentle force. This group also used a fan to propel their ball to the finish line.
