Inclined Plane Challenges

 Do different sized balls roll down an inclined plane at different speeds?
Look at the concentration in their eyes on the far left and right.
What happens when we change the angle of the inclined plane?
Determination in her eyes.
We timed the speed of different wheels and balls...

Challenge: Build a wall and then use an inclined plane and a wheel or ball to break the wall down.
Wall #1:
He rolled three wheels starting at different points on the slide until he found the winning spot.
Smash!

Wall #2:
Used a wheel to break the wall the first time but it did not work.
Used his body the second time but that did not work.
The bowling ball worked!
Look at that gleam in his eye.
Smash!
