Roll A Ball Experiment

Hello Parents,

We conducted another science experiment on our Earth Materials today.  This time, each scientist took a turn seeing if they could roll their earth material into a ball.

We found out that:

  • Clay was the easiest earth material to roll into a ball.
  • Gravel can not be rolled into a ball.
  • Sand can be rolled into a ball if you have the right amount of water.
  • Soil can be shaped into a ball but not by rolling.
  • Things that are sticky are best to be used for rolling into a ball.

Thanks to Isaac’s Aunt Megan for helping us today and for taking such great pictures!  Thanks to my friend Mrs. Anderson for helping too.
