Rollercoasters
Building paper marble rollercoasters is like bringing a real amusement park right into the classroom! As third class students cut, fold, and tape colorful paper into loops, turns, and giant drops, they became mini engineers. It is so much fun to watch a tiny marble zoom down the track, but it is also a giant science experiment. They get to see physics in action, learning how a big hill gives the marble the speed it needs to make it through a loop. The best part is the teamwork and problem-solving. If the marble flies off the track, nobody gives up! Instead, friends giggle, huddle together, and figure out how to fix the track so the next ride is a massive success.
