Ron’s Ramp Activity #1
VI.A.2; VI.A.1; V.E.2
All Groups
*The kids will explore a STEM
Activity from Ron’s Ramp
Adventures.
Teacher will set up graphing mat,
ramp, Ron/skateboard, sticky
notes, color tiles, class graph and
markers.
What will happen if we let Ron
ride down this ramp? Will he
stop on or off the mat?
Each child will predict whether
he will stay on or off the mat
using the graphing mat and a
color tile. Teacher and children
will work together to take this
data and transfer it to our class
graph (poster board).
Teacher will place Ron at the top
of the ramp and let go. Teacher
and children will discuss the
results and see how many were
correct in their predictions?
