Mr. Russell's 8th grade science students designed and constructed slides that allowed their marbles to have enough kinetic energy to successfully make it to the end of the slide and without falling off of the sides. They were encouraged to be as creative as possible and design with loops and hills as they saw fit.
Mark your calendars!
