Clay Stories
Exploring the Magnetic Chalkboard
Children were very enthusiastic about returning to this experience today. The children explored how the angles of the ramps affected speed and direction. Visibility also became a factor as children realized they couldn't always see a ball as it passed through an opaque tunnel. C.C. - We need the ramps. But where will it land? Can we use a harder ball? Elle - Can we have a tunnel? C.C. Let's try a short tunnel. Maxon works on a new ramp. C.C. - Good idea, Maxon. You have such good ideas. The children make a new system that uses only ramps and not tunnels. Lochie - (Adjusting the angle of the ramp.) We have to do it like this so it's fast. C.C. - (Skipping two of the ramps) When we do it this way, it goes all the way, but when we start at the top it goes this way. Jack - (Placing a tube at a sharp angle). It goes here and all the way down and gets caught so it doesn't go too fast to see. Nora - Oh, this is neat! I'm sending a ball down! Jack - No, wait. I'm still testing it!
