In this activity, the students were seperated into groups and each
group was asked to create a racetrack for the ball to compete using cardboard
boxes and cardboard supports.However, the ball must move on the race track for
60 seconds without leaving the track.
Three different situations are examined by the students before
proceeding to the application phase of the activity. Case 1: Observing the
ball's slopes and properties of the path releasing from 3 different points
,same features but different heights.Case 2: Moving the ball in 3 different
paths with the same slopes and lengths but different properties of the path it
will take Case 3: Observing the ball height and the properties of the path it
will take but releasing the slopes downwards from 3 different points As a
result of these studies, the students learn which variables to pay attention to
when building the racetrack. Afterwards the students use the oversized
cardboard and cardboard supports to design the system where the ball will move
for 60 seconds. After the most suitable design is decided, a 3D model of the
design is made.
Our goal was to move the balls on the designed path for 60
seconds. There were groups who completed the course under the given time.
Students in these groups discovered the effect of friction force in various
environments by experimenting and rearranged the racetracks accordingly. After
all the groups had completed the racetrack, a competition was held in front of
all the students at the school. During the competition, students had fun and
enjoyable moments. This race increased students' excitement and motivation.
