The
implementation of the second inquiry involved children expanding on their
exploration of the big idea "Where did it go?" Intension was to study
the motion and the direction of an object going through a tube. The children
wanted to study where the object went and how it got there. In this activity
children used fine motor skills to explore cause and effect. They put a marble
into a curved pbc pipe and observed the marble get stuck in the loops or roll
out of the pipe. When the marble did not come out children looked inside to see
if the marble was till there. They then attempted to take the marble with their
hands and last moved the pipes around to dump the marble out. Children also
tested how marbles traveled through shorter pipes in comparison to longer
pipes. The concepts children learned and
enhanced doing this activity include the concept of motion, directionality, and
the concept of permanence.
