Together with the Ladybugs and Alchemists, the Bumblebee class worked on a STEAM project using ramps. The students built ramps and then used many different objects to roll, slide, bump and jump down the ramps. They looked at velocity and mass with heavier and lighter objects. They tried different angles. Then they added pads and tape to create friction for those objects moving down the ramps. Finally they used the I-pads to photograph and video the progress down the ramps, creating some amazing videos both moving forward and in reverse.
