Today we were investigating how far a car travelled when we changed the height of the ramp.
What happened?
Why do you think it happened?

robyn
the steeper the ramp is the further the car will travel because gravity pulls the object downwards.
Mr Clare
Well done Robyn, great thinking. Can you think of anything else that would make the car travel further?
robyn
it’s weight, a heavy object will have more momentum and will go faster and further.
Mr Clare
Great idea.
