Marble Run Mania! Enquire Now Explore your student’s creativity & problem-solving skills! Using highly accessible materials, your students will have a blast as they create their own designs to solve a series of challenges in making a marble run work. Designed to allow students to explore momentum, kinetic energy and friction in a constructive environment, this workshop allows students to rapidly predict, test, modify and implement their ideas! Specifically, this workshop covers: Balanced and unbalanced forces Friction Potential energy vs. Kinetic energy Momentum and inertia Trustpilot Quick Links Past projects Requirements Cost per Science Show Free Science Resources Back to Primary Science Visits 150 Free Experiments Fizzics in the Media Australian Curriculum Mapping for all science workshops & shows Australian ACARA Content Outcomes: The way objects move depends on a variety of factors, including their size and shape (ACSSU005) A push or a pull affects how an object moves or changes shape (ACSSU033) Forces can be exerted by one object on another through direct contact or from a distance. (ACSSU076). NSW SCIENCE SYLLABUS CONTENT for all our incursions NSW Science Syllabus Content A student: STe-5PW-ST observes the way objects move and relates changes in motion to push and pull forces STe-2DP-T develops solutions to an identified need ST1-9PW-ST investigates how forces and energy are used in products ST1-2DP-T uses materials, tools and equipment to develop solutions for a need or opportunity ST2-9PW-ST describes how contact and non-contact forces affect an object’s motion ST2-2DP-T selects and uses materials, tools and equipment to develop solutions for a need or opportunity NSW K – 10 Science Syllabus mapping for all our incursions Print a PDF which details K to 6 mapping of all our science visits Engaging for students! This workshop is designed for students to complement forces, friction and movement in a series of student-centered design challenges. Can they make the ball loop the loop? How far can they make the ball jump? How far can they make the ball travel? How fast can the ball move? Can the students add other materials to improve their design?… and more! The lesson is driven by the students, with our presenter and the classroom teacher working directly with the students to facilitate learning and deeper understanding of why things move.
