Marble Sorting!

Marble Sorting!

Brainstorming: 
color coding; sort by size;
 magnets to attract metal marbles;
build boxes along the top, have marbles roll over each one and "sort themselves"

Documented Photos: 

This is the basic design for our marble sorter. We begin by placing the marbles at the top. The  heavier metal marbles will be attracted the the magnets and fall into the right box as shown. The wooden marbles are light enough that they will fall into the left box, also shown. Below the first video shows an example of this.

This is our finished Marble Sorter. It does not sort by color but by size. In the second video below the process is demonstrated.
