BP Technology Challenge: Marble Run

On Wednesday 9th of May Room 5 Papakaio School has done the last BP technology challenge. We did this challenge with Mr Brown. This time we did a marble run. We used 1.5 meters of masking tape, a pair of scissors, a piece of core float, 25 straws, 5 pieces of rectangular cardboard, as much pins as we wanted, and the marble. We had 40 minutes to complete this challenge. My group didn't do too well, it was already even a challenge trying to keep the marble on the actual thing. The objective was to roll the marble down the slowest and to have the longest time. Ours didn't work very well, and we also only have 4 straws placed into the core float. After that we learnt from the teacher a few things about how we could make that on the actual day like how far from the core float the straws and pins should be.
