SET-UP

STEP 1

STEP 4 STEP 5

Construct the water dumper.

Inflate the mat – be careful not to over-inflate so that the bottom stays flat.

Snap togetherthe water wheelpieces.

Make sure the spinners arefacing the correct directionfor maximum spin.

Connect tall bases.

Look for arrows ( , ) throughout the instructionsto know which end is the closed end of the building piece.

Begin constructing the left sideof your Aqua Maze using thewhirlpool vortex, marblecatcher, a tall base,curved track, 2 straighttracks and 7 tubes.

Connect the left and rightsides of the build using a spinner slide. Add a waterwheel, funnel, and 3 tubes.

Use a tall base, curved track,spinner slide, and 21 tubesto add on tothe remainingarm of thetriple chute.

SET-UP

STEP 1

Put together specific pieces.

Connect 3 tubes under each armof the triple chute and 2 tubes and a marble catcher in the middle.

Construct a double tower off one armof the triple chute using a curvedtrack, straight track, funnel,and 15 tubes. Add on a second arm of thetriple chute with thewater dumperand 5 tubes.

Funnel

Spout

Water Wheel

Be sure to twistand adjust the build so the spout sends water or marbles to the water dumper which dumps into the whirlpool vortex.

PARENTPOINTERS

How many drops of water orhow many marbles does it take to fill the water dumperand make it tip?

Use the dropper to squirtwater directly on spinners —does this make them gofaster or slower than using the scoop?

Compare how fast themarbles go with and withoutwater? The water will slowdown the marbles due to friction.

Use the remaining 2 tubes,spout, water wheel and funnel to complete yourAqua Maze.

Help your child discoverthe magic of physics by experimenting withdifferent parts of the AQUA MAZE.
