Marble Run
This hand made hard wood marble run features a 2 m long track in a compact area that fits comfortable in a standard tray. The gentle slope of the rails maximises the run time of the maze to around 10 seconds.
There are several ways this can be used:
The youngest pupils can measure the time for a ball to complele the maze as part of a set of measurment stations.
A teacher led class discussion around measuring the speed of different ball bearings.
To plant the thinking seeds of measurment uncertainty and averaging (across pupils).
