Force Experiments- 3 activites to investigate pushes, ramps & motion using cars

Force Experiments using matchbox cars:

PROBLEM: How far will a matchbox car travel when pushed with different amounts of force?

PROBLEM: Will the height of a ramp change how far a car travels down a track?

PROBLEM: If you give different sized cars the same force, which will travel farthest?

Students predict distances, then measure and record observations. Simple observations and conclusion questions on each worksheet.

Enjoy!
