Mr. Maykut: Rollers

Students used wheels and axles to create rollers that could roll down a simple ramp.  Students were given challenges to make various kinds of rollers that would curve, roll straight or zigzag down the ramp.  Next students will be required to design their very own experiment based on rolling.
