Learning about Forces: Cars and Ramps

Sunday, February 19, 2017

Every student designed and built a car made of recycled materials.

Students then worked in groups to design and build ramps with different lengths and surfaces.

Everyone had to use what they learned about friction, gravity, and push forces to complete a challenge.

The challenges were: “Get the car to go from the top to the bottom of the ramp in 1-3 seconds, 4-7 seconds, or 8-10 seconds.”

Here are some pictures from our final trials.
