Build a marble run

 In Te Ngahere we made a  marble run that can stop at 110 cm. We did this for the scientific method. Some of the year 8’s did it when they were in year 6. We first got into a group. My group was Jorjah  and Jaelyn-Marie.  Jorjah did this 2 years ago . The  materials  we got were lego blocks and cardboard  that Jorjah got from her house.  We used the lego blocks so we could  build  it  so it could  roll down. We flattened the cardboard because there would have been lumps and that would not be good and it would  get stuck between them. After we did that we got the cardboard, made it like a tube so it can go down. After we built the marble run we had to test it 10 times to see whether we were close and if it kept landing  in the same spot. If it was not even close to 110 cm we had to make a  adjustments  . Next weekend we have to let our friends  test our ramp 10 times.  We earned 5 points that is 110 cm then we got tested. Ours landed on the 5 two times then we got 3 three times. We rolled the the marble 5 times. Then we got 1 four more times. That was all of our rolls; we got 24 points. We came 2nd place and Dale and Dezray  were first with 25 points. They bet us by one point
