Brad's Block Track, page 1
1Brad had a big plan. He set up blocks in a long track in the hall. At the end, he set a ball and a cup. "One flick and they will all fall," said Brad.
Brad's Block Track, page 2
2"Then the ball will plop into the cup!" His pal Dan sat down to look. Brad flicked the first block. Click, click, click! The blocks fell fast. Then they stopped. The last six blocks were still standing.
Brad's Block Track, page 3
3Brad checked the track. "I see a gap," he said. "It is too big." Brad set one small block in the gap. Then he set the other blocks back up. Flick! Click, click, click!
Brad's Block Track, page 4
4This time all the blocks fell. The last block hit the ball. The ball fell into the cup. Plop! Dan clapped and clapped. "You did it, Brad!" he said. Brad grinned. He was glad his plan worked.
