This week in science: rolling marbles

This week we investigated rolling marbles.  Our focus was to ask questions we can investigate. We used a graphic organiser to focus us on what we saw, what we thought was happening and what we wondered.  

Firstly, we rolled a marble on plastic 10 times and put stickers when the marble ended.  We measured  our results. We observed and came up with some ideas as to why the marbles went differing distances. We then wondered all about marbles, and gravity, and speed, and... Loads of other things.  

Next, we're going to turn our wonderings into questions we can investigate. We'll then explore marbles again and try and answer our questions.  

Here's some photos of our science on Monday.
