Students discuss the different types of forces at work in the world and how forces may help or hinder motion. They experiment with ramps and toy cars and run trials to find the average speed and distance cars traveled. After adding weight to the top of the toy car, they hypothesize the effect is has on the car's speed. Groups also test friction by adding sand paper, wax paper, and bubble wrap to the ramp.
