1/31 Examining the effect of weight on motion:

Today, the students disassembled their own car designs and built a standard model. Each team of 3-6 students received 16 small weights, a bookend, clips and string. Their goal was to determine the effect adding additional weight would have on speed and distance of their cars.

 Predictions:

* Adding extra weight will slow the car down.

* The extra weight will make the car move faster.

* More weight creates more force- This will cause the car to move a greater distance.
