g n i l l Ro Rolling Problem: Does the height of the ramp affect the distance a car travels?
g n i l ol R Rolling Roll ing HYPOTHESIS If we roll a toy car down ramps of different heights and measure the distance it rolls, then we think the car on the highest ramp will roll the furthest distance.

It also explains why a ramp is useful and how it works easier. Force & Motion, Clint Twist, 2006, Bearport Publishing Company This colorful book discusses force, motion, pushing and pulling. It explains why it takes less force to move something down a slope. Force and Motion, 2003, Delta Education This book describes force, motion, energy, and work. It gives examples of all simple machines and pictures of these machines at work in our everyday life. Hands-On Science-Over 40 Fantastic Experiments-Forces and Motion, 2001, Kingfisher Publications. This book increased our knowledge about force and motion. Lots of activities about forces and simple machines are included. Check it out!
g n i l l Ro Rolling Rol ling Conclusion We noticed that the more books we added to the ramp, the further the car traveled. The majority of the class predicted in the hypothesis that the twelve book ramp would travel the farthest distance. The fifteen students who voted for the twelve book ramp were correct. A ramp is an inclined plane, a simple machine , a tool that uses force to make work easier. We believe that the raised height did some of the work and made it easier for the car to move and move farther.
