Motion is defined as a change in position. The marble rolling through the tube is an example of a simple motion. The motion becomes more complex when the tube is twisted. Another example of complex motion is when the tube is tilted, creating a ramp. The tilting of the tube is a force, which causes the marble to increase speed. A marble moving through a maze is another complex motion.
Mazes can be made of hedges, mirrors, wood, or other things. Corn mazes are the most common type of maze in the United States. Mazes have been part of history for thousands of years. The winding path of a maze was thought to be for spiritual journeys.
