Narrative Summary:
This module builds on children's prior experiences with balls and how they move. Children focus on two themes: the properties and characteristics of balls and some of the factors that affect the way balls behave.
Children begin by comparing how a wide variety of balls roll and bounce; next make their own balls out of clay and many other materials; and then explore the movement of different balls as the balls roll down ramps, through tubes, and around bends.
