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

But the fist one we had to read the first one really carefully. The second one Put your name in the right hand corner of this the paper and we had try to finish all of it be for the timer runs out of time but I was only upto the 11 and then only had 12 left. And then the time rain out so we all went to go set down on the mat then Fire Beck's said to everyone that we all got it wrong but Jacobe nearly got it right. Because we had to read it all be for we do it and even Gina got it wrong too. And we had to read it all be for we do anything. Have you did directions before.
