They could play with the ramp, balls, and marbles during choice time. Some students started designing their own ramps using different blocks to build interesting ones. This builds on an activity they did last week when they used marbles to paint by rolling them on paper, discovering that the marble will always run in the direction that points down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\ud83d\udca1 <\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Questions we asked:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Which ball will roll the fastest?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Does the size or weight of the ball make a difference?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/01\/IMG_0316-scaled.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-314765 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/01\/IMG_0316-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 225px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 225\/300;\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/01\/IMG_0307-scaled.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-314766 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/01\/IMG_0307-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 225px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 225\/300;\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/01\/IMG_0306-scaled.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-314767 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/01\/IMG_0306-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 225px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 225\/300;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Science Fun with Ramps! \ud83c\udf1f We explored how different balls and marbles roll down a ramp!
