Marble Slide Part 1

Miss Ouano had news papers on the side of her chair and I wondered what they were for. Then she said that we were going to make a slide that had to carry a marble from the table to the ground. I knew exactly what to make. The only hard part of it was that we had to make it in 10 minutes.


We had to make the slide out of 6 pieces of paper and 1 metre of tape. We worked out different strategies but only 1 seemed to stick. Rita’s strategy. You had to roll paper up and stick it into each one.


Ashleigh, Rita and I made a slide that was taped to the table, with a curve that went strait down to the ground. Our slide was made out of to rolled up pieces of paper. It didn’t take very long before we were finished. I tested the marble then... SUCCESS! The marble had gone through both tubes of paper.


Our group had done a great job. Sure, our one was wobbly at times but it a stayed to the ground. All the other groups hadn't finished yet so it was a big advantage. That made me even more proud of our work.


If I had a chance to change anything I wouldn't. Our tower was standing and when you look around the room most of the slides weren't finished. I thought our idea was really good.
