1 Day Until Launch!⁠ ⁠ Marble Run Science!⁠

1 Day Until Launch!⁠
⁠
Marble Run Science!⁠
⁠
Did you know that energy cannot be lost or gained, it can only be transformed from one form to another?⁠
⁠
When a marble goes down the Marble Run, the marble starts with Potential Energy. When it is released, this energy is transferred to Kinetic Energy, sound, and lost to friction. Cool, eh?⁠
⁠
Our brilliant @byokits guru Yo, shares more cool marble run science in the instruction booklet that comes with our NEW Marble Run. ⁠
⁠
Building the Marble Run will not only encourage children to use their imagination and problem-solving skills, they’ll also learn about physics and kinetic energy as they play. Totally awesome!⁠
⁠
Launching tomorrow! ⁠
⁠
Don’t forget to tag your friends. Christmas is just around the corner!⁠

⁠
Which marble will win!?⁠
