Learning about force and motion

Our challenge was to find out how many different ways we could make a marble move. We came up with lots of creative ways, including hitting, dropping, flicking, spinning and rolling. We used rulers, hands, container lids and other objects to roll or bounce a marble from. We had a discussion about what makes a marble move.
We learned that a marble can move if it is pushed or pulled. We also found out that gravity is a force that pulls objects towards the ground.
