Public Schools Marbles Adapted from activities written by Chris Erickson, Teresa Gallo, Deborah A. Griffin Schieler, and Dianna Spreutels for the University of Wisconsin-Superior Project, Superior Science. Marbles must be rolled, not flicked. Students will predict and record the distance their marbles will travel in five seconds. Have students roll their marbles down the hall from their starting lines.
Students measure and record the distance the marble traveled with the meter stick.
Repeat steps two and three two more times. Have students average their data.
