Force & Motion Art

Here is a super fun way to have your students practice using their force & motion vocabulary!

We used the vocabulary words force, friction, gravity, speed, and motion.  See the directions below!

 

The finished Product (Minus student writing)

I placed a marble in the shallow bowls. (You could cut the tops of cups and use those too!)  and plopped the marble down into the paint.  The students loved getting a bit messing by  having to pull the marbles out of the paint. 

No need to be too scared- This is as messy as my students got! :)

 Students plop the marbles onto white copy paper and roll around inside the box in order to create marble art.

Some suggestions for boxes:

    Shoe Box Lids or the Shoe Box itself
    My favorite- the lids to file folder boxes (This is because you don't have to cut out the white paper to fit inside.)



 The work turns out so beautifully and looks very nice mounted
with their writing next to it!
