Two rulers with grooves down the middle. Blocks of wood or something to adjust the height of the ends of the rulers.
Marble
Students must set up their rulers end to end in a sort of V fashion. Adjusting the height of either end or both ends, manage to release the marble from one end so that it rolls the length of both rulers and have it get as close to the other end of the other ruler as possible without falling off.
Might be fun and doesn't take too many materials. Have them work in groups of two.
