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 (e.g using cm or mm). Do this a few times with different cars and/or different ramps and record your results.
Which way helped you measure accurately? How do you know?
