Science - Slope

This afternoon, we used the blocks to build slope with different steepness. I built the first incline with two blocks under the wooden board; then, we led go the toy car from the top. I helped the children mark where the toy car stopped. 

"What will happen if we add one more block under the board?" the children were asked.

"The car will run faster!" the children said.

We continued adding blocks and recording where the car stopped; at the end, we concluded that the more blocks we put under the board the further our toy car went. By manipulating toy cars and blocks, the children had a concrete experience of slope. What a playful way to learn math and physics!
