In this investigation, students figure out how to use patterns to predict a skateboarder’s motion and location in a half-pipe.
The Skateboard Half-Pipe kit includes all the materials that students will need to design and carry out an investigation.
Each kit contains enough materials for six groups of students.
Materials :
- Marbles
- Number Stickers
- Track Towers
- Tracks
- Track Connectors
- Stopwatch
