With hands‐on learning projects, children are forced to experiment with different solutions when problems arise. With this activity, there are a variety of ways that students adapt to the speci9ic needs of the problem they are working with. When the balls bounce out of ramps, children use their problem solving skills to come up with solutions like building walls to ricochet the balls. They create baskets to catch the balls so that they don’t roll out of the room. Some even create jumps to launch the ball higher into the air. Through this play‐based problem solving, not only are the children having fun, but they are also learning fundamental concepts of physics.
