After children started building ramps for the trucks in the blocks center, this display was set up to encourage more explorations with ramps. I built the ramp with a few blocks from the block center, and added items to test whether they roll or do not roll. The items were: Cracker Barrell mini syrup bottle, small cylinder block, small toy car, plastic egg, wooden cube, wooden wheel, roll of tape, wooden triangle, and a round craft pom pom. We also have different materials to put on the boards, such as bubble wrap, wax paper, and sandpaper for the children to test which materials help or prevent cars from rolling down.
