🥼 Marble Runs in Year 1-2 🫸🏽
Our Year 1/2 students became designers, engineers and scientists as they created their very own marble runs! Following the Design Process, students planned, created, built, tested and evaluated their designs, making improvements along the way. They experimented with a variety of materials and discovered how different shapes and surfaces affected the movement of the marble.

Our students investigated forces, explored how gravity pulls objects towards the ground and how pushes, pulls and ramps change the speed and direction of the marble. It was wonderful to see students asking questions, solving problems and working together to create exciting designs. Most importantly, we celebrated that we are creative because God is our Creator. Just as God designed a world full of order, beauty and purpose, He has given us minds to imagine, create and discover.

We loved seeing our young learners think deeply, persevere through challenges and joyfully use the gifts God has given them.
