During an investigation, students discover how friction affects a

car’s motion. Their data is shown.

What should the students do to improve the investigation and ensure

that their data is accurate?

• The students need to add more surfaces so they can test more

  types of friction.

• The students need to change their centimeter measurements into

  inches so that they can communicate clearly.

• The students need to complete more than one trial on each type

  of surface so the data can be averaged.

• The students need to add all the distances together and make

  sure the total is an even number.
