Objective
In this game, the children experience the connection between gradients, friction and speed. The children also challenge various gross motor skills.
Instructions
- Places benches on the wall bar at various heights, so the benches have different gradients.
- Challenge the children to climb up and slide down the bench. Challenge the children to slide in different ways.
- In addition, place a bench on floor-level, so the children can make comparisons.
Tips
- Preferably speak to the children about how various speeds can be attained. How should you slide to slide fast? How should you slide to slide slowly? Why does this happen?
