Week 3: Steeper, Faster, Farther

Getting Started

This week children will explore ramps with surfaces of different textures and what happens to a rolling object when you increase the steepness of a ramp. Children will:

  • Compare how objects move on different surfaces
  • Build their own ramps and investigate what happens when they make the ramps steeper
  • Learn about what wheels do and how they help people by listening to the read-aloud book What Wheels Do All Day
  • Think about inclines as they listen to the read-aloud book The Little Engine That Could
  • Develop social emotional skills as they work in pairs and groups building ramps
  • Be introduced to the letters “Dd” and “Ee” and the words down and engine
