Marble Madness Lab Activity
Page 2 of 4
Necessary Materials:
- 6 books (or boxes) of roughly the same thickness
- 1 marble (or small ball)
- 2 rulers: one to use as a ramp and one with which to measure
- stopwatch (or watch/clock with a seconds hand)--Many cellphones have a stopwatch feature, and many analog clocks have a seconds hand. Alternatively, I have provided an online stopwatch gadget.
- A calculator is optional.
