Rolling Down a Tube Track


Activities: Next Activity

Use multiple lengths of PVC tubing (if available), or wrapping paper or paper towel tubes collected over a period of time, to create a racetrack for a small ball.

Make as long a track as you can. Lay the tubes over tables, lean them against furniture, and connect them using tape.

Can you get the ball to go all the way through the tube without stopping?
