8th Grade Motion Experiments


Just before April break, the 8th grade presented their findings after conducting their own experiments involving MOTION. Many groups used toy cars; a few groups used ramps.
Here are a few questions tackled by our investigative teams:
How does the mass of an object affect the distance it will travel?
How does the surface material of a ramp affect a car's speed?
How does the steepness of a ramp affect how fast a car moves across the floor?
