Science Lab - Ramps and added weight!

 

These pictures ended up in backwards order again!
This is a graph of our cars without any extra weight and cars with 1 or 2 pennies taped to them.
We concluded that in most cases, the extra weight slowed the car down. 






We measured the distance a car went down the ramp if it was 1 book high, and if it was 2 books high.
 We concluded that the higher the ramp, the greater the force of gravity on the car which resulted in the car going further.  Pretty big thinking for a Kindergarten student!
We are blessed to have Mrs. Tucker to help us think this way!
