We learned about kinetic energy (motion)!

We read about Mary Motion and met the Quirkles. We love to explore phonics through science!!! Mary motion and her other "M" friends had a marble race to see which marble rolled the farthest. We had our own marble race!!

We set up two ramps using blocks. One ramp was twice as steep as the other one. We predicted that the taller ramp would be the fastest. We took turns rolling the marbles down the ramps to see which marble rolled the farthest. Conclusion: We learned that the marble that rolls down the steepest ramp travels the farthest. The higher the ramp the more energy the marble has to change motion! This was FUN!!! We can't wait to meet our next "Quirkle" friend!
