Important Setup Notes:
Practice releasing the ball in sync with the beats of the metronome.
Setup:
- 5 minuets of setup time is needed
Cautions, Warnings, or Safety Concerns:
- Please do not drop the steel ball bearings
Demonstration:
Start by setting the metronome at 56 beats per minute. Place the ball bearing at the top of the inclined plane. When released the ball should pass each mark on the track with the beats of the metronome. The ball should pass through #1 then hits marks 4, 9, and 16 (ie. the basket) that are marked on the side of the track. Practice! The metronome time may need adjusting so that the ball hits those marks. The markings 1, 4, 9, 16 are distances in feet from the starting point.
