Description: In this STEAM challenge, you will use recyclable and used materials to make your own wall marble run. A marble run is a fun toy and a great way to learn about physics concepts like kinetic and potential energy. Will your marble make it to the end of the track?

Collect your materials and think about which ones would make a good section for your marble run. Start with one section and tape it to the wall. Build up and down from it. Test each section as you build. Continue adding sections until you run out of room or materials. Refine & test the final design.
