Balls & Ramps

For about the past month, our first grade scientists have been exploring how different balls move when they are rolled, bounced, and thrown. They have had opportunities to put their new understanding of balls to the test while creating their own balls. This past week, we challenged students to create their own ramps and pathways to further explore the movement of balls. 

Here is a fun and easy activity you can do at home to help support your child's learning in the classroom!

Go on a tour of your neighborhood and try to find different ramps in the area. Ask your child how these ramps help different people. If you are able to capture a photo of any ramps, we would love to share these during science! Happy hunting!
