Force of Motion Christmas Trees

We learned a little about gravity with this art project!  First, students moved paint around using forks and combs. This became the snow on our trees.

Next, students experimented with moving marbles around the box lid.  They tried to make the marbles move all over the box. We talked about the best strategies to move the marbles without having them jump out of the box.  That’s where the word, “gravity” came in! We added some drops of paint and watched as the marbles made the paint move across the snowy trees.

The finished art project is beautiful!
