It is great having a physics teacher in the home, especially when my husband brings his work home with him. Todd had a gentleman from our church make some marble shooters but before Todd took them to school, he had the children try them out.
First, you draw a target on a piece of paper. Then you place your target on the floor where you calculated your marble will land and place a piece of carbon paper on top to help mark the spot.
Now you are ready to load the shooter. Place your marble on the shooter and let go. Let's hope it lands on the target.
Looks like you hit the paper. Remove the carbon paper and you will find a clear purple spot marking the area where the marble hit. Let's hope it was on target. If not, move the target and try again.
