Science
- The child has learned about gravity and motion by observing how the ball travels through loops and angles.
- They have gained an understanding of cause and effect as they observe how the design of the magna tiles affects the path of the ball.
- They have explored basic engineering concepts by creating structures with the magna tiles to guide the ball's path.
For continued development, encourage the child to experiment with different angles and heights of the magna tiles to see how it impacts the ball's travel. Additionally, prompt the child to predict and test how changes in the design of the magna tile structures affect the path of the ball.
