Build a Marble Run
Race marbles down your very own marble run!
Kids will design and build a marble run using tape and common recycling box items. New features will be added to the marble runs in each of the four sessions. The final product will be a big marble run that kids can race marbles down again and again!
1 Your Guide
I am a certified BC teacher, Montessori Elementary guide, and an English language teacher for adults. I was a K-7 classroom teacher and a K-3 music prep teacher before hearing about the Montessori approach to education! I enjoy cycling around the Comox Valley, where I call home. When I get the chance, I like to fish for ling cod and salmon. My favourite kinds of books are sci-fi and fantasy, but really, I just love a good story of any kind. I believe in the learner-led approach to education, and encouraging kids to explore their interests. Children are imaginative and curious and I enjoy the enthusiasm they bring to learning. In the evenings, you can usually find me making dinner, hanging out with my family, and playing hide and seek with our ginger tabby cat, Conan.
2 Materials Needed
Kids will need marbles, tape, scissors, cardboard boxes, toilet paper / paper towel tubes, styrofoam, hot glue (parent supervision recommended), toothpicks, and containers of various shapes and sizes! A space to mount the marble runs, like an empty section of wall or a door, is also required.
