Magnetized

Students in Ms.Sklar’s first grade class are studying magnetism. They used the magnetic tiles from our makerspace to construct mazes on a tray.  Each team was given a ball and the task was to tilt the tray to make the ball move through the maze. Some mezes were predesigned and som

e students designed their own mazes. Students used problem solving and the design cycle to test, run, and revise their mazes so that the balls would roll in between the walls and out through the designated exit.
