8th grade Physical Science students are learning about Position and Motion. Today's lab was about "How can motion change?" Students were given 5 plastic tubes, one marble, a plastic bowl, and masking tape. The task was to create a tube slide that would allow you to observe how the motion of a marble changes as it rolls down the slide. All of the groups were able to successfully complete the task.
