Duration: 21:06
ABC and adapted from Nrich maths
Use your cars and the ramp to investigate which will travel the furthest.
Hint! If the ramp is wide enough, place all three cars at the top and let them all go at the same time. Otherwise, test one at a time.Record your results.
Which car went the furthest? How do you know?
How far did each car travel from the bottom of the slope?
Try different ways of measuring how far the cars travelled. For example, using cm and/or mm.
Try recording your measurements in cm using decimal notation. For example, if the car travelled 10cm and 4mm record this as 10.4cm.
Repeat the activity a few times with different cars and/or different ramps and record your results.
Which way helped you measure accurately? How do you know?
