Marble run

n Te Ngahere we have being learning about making a marble run. We made the marble run for Steam, steam stands for Science,Technology ,Engineering,Art and Maths. Our teachers Whaea Becks and Whaea Chrissy let us pick what we wanted to use so that our ramp was created out of multiple materials so that we all had the same advantage. We had to write a list of instructions for other groups to try and build our ramp. We gave the group what we made the ramp out of and the list of instructions. What I enjoyed is just working with my team and building character with them also just having fun. What I think I could do better next time is work a little bit harder and write some clearer instructions.

What was something your group did well? We worked together and we made a good ramp and we got very good results. We tested it heaps and tried to get better results, we came 3rd. What is something you could have done better? We could've make the instructions more clearer so the group building it can understand for example , I told them to put it on the corner and we could of said to put it by the marks and then made marks , and get our things ready before the people that are going to test are ready. How close did your marble get to 110 cm? Did the marble go further than 110 cm? Or shorter? Our marble made 110 once and then it went to other places. Our marble went all over the place and we started to get to the 3’s and 2’s. Why do you think your ramp was or was not successful? Why? Why not? Our ramp was successful because the people that had rolled the marble and the height that it was. Why not? Because the ramp was confusing for the other team to understand in the explaining. How clear were your instructions? What was something you explained well? What was something that needed to be clearer? My instrestion were not clear enough because they had to tweak it different. What we explain well is that to start the marble where it say coloring pencils. What I think could of being clearer is the spelling. If you had an opportunity to design a new ramp. What would you change? Improve? What I would change would be the pencil box because it does not keep still and I would just change that too. I would also make the picture more clearer.
