☘️November 4-H Meeting ☘️
Our 4-H agent, Sherri Teer, brought a fun challenge activity involving PVC pipe and marbles. The challenge was to figure out how to get a marble from one end of a chain of PVC pipes to the other. In the second challenge they had to make the marble go around in a circle. There was a third challenge, a two-team challenge-which team could get their marble to travel through their PVC pipe the fastest. One of the girls made the statement, "The steeper the incline, the faster the marble will travel." #4-H #SpartanProud
