Marble Runs

Finally, a use for all those tubes!

Everyone has been hoarding toilet paper for months. Besides empty tubes, we'll be using gravity and momentum to do some neat tricks with marbles.

What kind of track, tunnel, or ramp will you build? You can try to duplicate the experiment in this video or come up with your own challenge.

Marble Masters

Here's a ramp Zoe W. made with stuff around her house. Is that a guitar case? Neat!

Check out Noah C.'s outstanding marble track! It loops around the whole deck! Awesome job!

Iuliia and Vasi K. tried a paper tube system. Looks like they could hit the bullseye every time with this setup!

More marble fun

Marble Madness!

Jelle's Marble Runs is an amazing, family-friendly YouTube channel featuring some incredible marble runs. In addition to some weirdly exciting races, the marble teams also compete in events like balance beam, hurdles, block-pushing, and more.

Don't be surprised if you suddenly become a fan of one particular marble team (go, O-Rangers!).

Share your bright ideas!

It's not too late to share your own creations! If you've built something spectacular that want to share, you can email a picture or a video to Mr. Duff (cduff@eak12.org).
