-Assorted cardboard tubes such as empty tissue tubes, empty paper towel tubes or empty wrapping paper tubes. If you do not have cardboard tubes you can make some by forming a cylinder from heavy weight paper or file folders. -Thin paper plates which are easy to cut and bend. Plates with a raised edge work best. - Section of cardboard box which you have cut and lays flat that is about the size of a large pizza box. -Marble or other small ball. -Scissors -Strong tape such as packing tape or duct tape.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Students will use scissors and packing tape or duct tape in this class. It is recommended that an adult is present and nearby to ensure scissors are used safely and correctly. If the packing tape you use has a sharp edge for cutting, please ensure an adult is nearby to provide guidance.
