Math
- The child learned about gravity and motion as they observed how the marbles moved through the marble run.
- They practiced measurement skills by determining the length and height of different sections of the marble run.
- They explored angles and trajectories as they adjusted the incline of the marble run to control the speed and direction of the marbles.
- The child applied problem-solving skills by troubleshooting and making modifications to ensure the marbles followed the desired path.
Encourage the child to further develop their math skills by challenging them to design a more complex marble run with specific requirements, such as including a loop or incorporating different types of angles.
