Ramp Investigation - Mrs Walsh’s Class

16th May 2023

We carried out a fair test to see how fast and far a toy car travelled down a ramp. We tested 4 different surfaces to see how they affected the speed/distance travelled. We found that the car travelled faster and further over the smoothest surface. The increased friction from the carpet and the sandpaper surfaces lower the car down reduced the distance travelled.

 

We also found that the car travelled fasted and further when the height of the ramp increased.
