The implementation of the eleventh inquiry involved children
expanding on their exploration of the big idea "Where did it go?" The
children wanted to study the motion of an object passing through another. In
this activity the children explored tubes suspended from the ceiling. The
children noticed that these tubes had several openings like last week’s tubes
but some of the openings were blocked with tape. Some of the children tried to
put a marble through an opening and said "It's not going in!" Some of
the other children were confused about how to get the marble out of the tube.
They experimented by shaking the tube and tilting the tube in different
direction to get the marble out of an opening. The children had to problem
solve to get the marbles out of the tubes. Some concepts the children learned
during this activity include the concept of motion, cause and efface, fine
motor skills and directionality.
