More Force and Motion Fun -- Marble Races!

Have I mentioned that I *LOVE* teaching science?! We discussed velocity and how objects move faster down an inclined plane set at a greater angle. We did a little experiment to prove this using our marble race track! Got the idea HERE.

It took nearly 6 seconds for the marble to roll down the ramp at this incline!

It took 1.77 seconds for the marble to reach the finish line at this incline.

1.25 seconds....Faster!

And only .78 seconds at the greatest incline! FASTEST!
