Dropping Board with Marble

Photograph of a dropping board with a marble
Apparatus:
self-contained

Description:
Place marble in well at the end of the board and elevate the board such that the marble is lined up with the vertical bar. Drop the board, and the marble will appear to have jumped forward along the board in its descent, landing in the plastic cup with silicone in the bottom.
Take time to play with this demonstration beforehand, as the method of dropping the board requires practice.
