A little inquiry activity today

Today we have been calculating the speed of our marbles over a 2 meter distance. The students had to use their time, distance, speed activity they learnt on Tuesday. There was lots of discussion and discovery occurring! We then added a ramp and discovered this actually slowed down the bigger marble. So now our discussion point is WHY did this happen? What forces are in action here?

Today at NYLD15

Today I had the pleasure of attending the Young Leaders Day today in Rotorua with 31 great kids! 

We were all very inspired by the speakers we heard! Attitude is Altitude!
