Science Projects with Cardboard Tubes
Here are over 20 science projects for kids using cardboard tubes! In this collection of STEM and STEAM activities for kids, you’ll find all kinds of creative ways to encourage scientific exploration using empty toilet paper rolls, empty paper towel rolls and other cardboard tubes.
Materials Needed
Empty toilet paper rolls
Empty paper towel rolls
Other cardboard tubes
Marbles or other
How-To
Students can create their own marble run using toilet paper rolls and other cardboard tubing along with items found around the house. Engage in the engineering design process and discover ways to make your marble go fast or slow. In the classroom students can design and test their runs in groups.
Implement for distance learning: Consider your age group and develop criteria and constraints to focus the investigation on particular standards. Consider your student’s resources and create criteria that levels the activity for all of the students. Encourage creativity. Students can share their designs using Flipgrid. This is a free resource that is contained so the students are protected from the general public having access.
