Exploring force, motion, and friction


Today we raced cars to see which surface could make the car go faster. We learned that carpet has more friction so the car goes slower. We also learned that less force makes things move slower while a harder force makes things move faster. Then we made ramps to test how far the cars could go after getting a force (push).  The higher the ramp, the faster and farther the cars went.
