A marble falls through obstacles.
A board that has nails or push pins as pegs set-up in staggered rows.  The board is set at an angle.  A marble is released at the high end and the marble travels down the angled board bouncing off the pegs.  This is the model of an electron traveling through a resistor, or a non-ideal conductor
