Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'

Today in Flyer Time, Mrs. Sears's class focused on teamwork and strategy.  The object was to work together to get a ball to roll down a human-held ramp system 15 feet and fall into a cup.  If the ball touched you or fell, the group had to start over.  As the groups went through the process, they learned that if you overlapped the ramp there was less of a chance of the ball falling.  This week's ball was foil, lightweight and about an inch in diameter.  Next week the task gets harder with a marble; smaller and heavier, students will have a harder time controlling its roll, so some more strategy will be necessary!  Good job today and good luck next week.
