Day 1
Today children begin exploring the different surfaces and textures of ramps and how that affects the way things roll or slide.
Explore Ramps
Week 2: Building More Ramps
Last week children explored ramps made from flat pieces of cardboard or wood; this week, they’ll add ramps made from tubes. Children will also experiment with the surfaces of ramps—grassy hills, sidewalks, textured rugs, smooth tiles. They’ll also take a more in-depth look at what happens when they encounter obstacles that get in the way of objects sliding or rolling.
