Learning Resources | Building & Construction Tumble Trax Magnetic Marble Run

Description

Drop, roll, explore, and discover!Using fourteen squiggly, straight, and curved magnetic tracks, kids get to experiment with physics and engineering as they build and rebuild their own zig-zagging marble runs.Once they’re built, it’s time to see if they work – Drop the marble onto the highest point and watch as it rolls, drops, clicks, clacks, and accelerates.But – Will it land in the goal?Challenging excitement is on a roll as kids follow along with the ten challenge cards.Arrange the tracks to match the challenge and then drop a marble to put it to the test – Roooolllll, CLUNK! – Oh no! It bounced past the goal!Better adjust some tracks and try it again.Once you complete all ten, get creative and see how far you can push the envelope of physics.Can you make the marble speed up, slow down, launch through the air, stop, or change directions? – With these tracks and your imagination, the possibilities are endless!Discover the creative thrill of physics and engineering with the Tumble Trax Magnetic Marble Run – All you need is a surface that magnets are attracted to and your active imagination!Tumble Trax Magnetic Marble Run Track pieces for building a marble run on a magnetic surface Encourages fine motor skills, critical thinking, an understanding of physics A thrill to explore the possibilities of how the marble can roll Tracks are straight, curved, squiggly, short, long – Designed with vibrant patterns Tracks feature transparent track border – Keeps marble on course Arrange the tracks to try and land the marble inside the goal Follow 10 challenge cards or try inventing your own tracks Works best on a large magnetic surface like a classroom dry erase board Includes 14 magnetic track pieces, goal, 4 marbles, 10 activity cards Detailed instructions included High quality design and materials for lasting durability
