School Age Program

August 2024

This summer, our group has been gravitating towards the marble runs and this time they wanted to challenge themselves by making a bigger track! M.M began assembling a “regular” marble course where the marbles will start, then work their way down through the wooden trail! S.R even said “M.M is the marble master!” M.F, G.M, J.M, J.D, and S.R went through a few trials and errors because they wanted to stop the marbles from falling off the tracks. They found out by stacking the wooden blocks, the “wall” would be high enough to stop the marbles! S.R had an idea to add rainbow track pieces inside of the tube. We were curious as to why he wanted it this way and asked, “would it make the marbles move faster?” S.R became curious and after testing, they found out the marbles moved at the same speed. The children have shown great teamwork as they continue to work together to make fun and unique marble courses!
