This magnetic write & wipe center provides a large area for kids to stand side by side as they create. Through trial and error, students learn how the track position affects the disk as it rolls and falls from track to track and into the goal box. This develops skills in understanding speed and momentum, force and motion, angles and trajectories, and size.
It gives students the opportunity to build, test and reconfigure a variety of pathways, sharpening STEM problem-solving skills as they create together.
In addition, this center can be utilized for literacy and small group activities to explore the alphabet and create familiarity with upper and lower-case letters. The large letters are easy for small hands to manipulative and allows students to create names, beginning sounds, and CVC words.
