Science experiment- Fun with Marbles
The theme of Science Week 2013 was exploring the XTRA-ordinary.We were invited to explore, investigate and learn more about the amazing scientific things happening around us in our everyday lives.
We carried out the experiment from the Science Week website called Fun with Marbles http://www.scienceweek.ie/assets/media/Resources/Primary%20Schools/activity%20sheets%20Fun%20with%20Marbles.pdf
We investigated what do you think will happen if you roll a marble along a flat surface so that it hits a second stationary marble?
