All of my students will want to engage in some fun science activities! They will love the challenge of putting together a marble run and seeing if their marble will roll. Building and playing with marble runs provide a fun, hands-on experience with important science concepts. Some benefits to marble runs: Engineering or building something- slopes, bends, twists, turns, gravity, heights, etc make building a marble run challenging, but FUN. Problem-solving and trial and error- (Will it work if I ….?) Perseverance- Building a marble run isn’t easy and can be difficult at times. But, sticking with the process and not giving up helps build patience and perseverance. Creativity- Marble runs are open-ended activities. There are lots of ways to build and construct marble runs, so the possibilities are endless. And, each marble run built is likely to be different. Cooperation– not everyone has the same idea, so when building a marble run, cooperation is needed so that everyone can participate while building a successful marble run. Different ways of thinking and approaching a task- this comes from problem-solving, but also from working with other people. Hand-eye coordination- precision and care are needed when connecting pieces of a marble run, and building a marble run helps develop hand-eye coordination.
