Science Activity: Ramp Races

For this activity we made ramps using the blocks in the block area.  We gave the children 4 items that roll (car, tube, ball, egg) and asked them to predict which item would roll the farthest.  After the children made their predictions they rolled the items down the ramps and measured how far each item rolled.  After all the items were rolled, the children were able to tell if their prediction was correct.
