“Ramp” Up Learning!

Help me give my students Lakeshore Learning Ramps and Balls for STEM activities in preschool.

My Project

Help our future engineers build with a wooden Ramp and Balls Exploration Set from Lakeshore Learning. In preschool, the children love to knock things off the table, roll, and push objects. We would love to “ramp” up the excitement with wooden balls, blocks, and a storage container for the children to independently sort the objects.

Our preschoolers will be developing early STEM skills to test and experiment while also developing critical thinking skills.

The preschoolers will work together to create ramps to roll balls and cars down while exploring, problem-solving, and taking turns.
