The distance the ball rolled was the same on all four surfaces but the time it took was different. What caused that difference?

• The size of the ball

• The type of surface

• The way time was measured

• The type of ball used

What is a testable question you can create and then actually investigate based on the data table?

You want to design a ramp that causes the ball to roll the farthest distance.

What material would be the best choice for the ramp?

• A material like our classroom floor.

• A material like the soccer field.

• A material like the black playground ground

• A material like a rug

A student suggests testing different ramp heights with the same surface.

What question could they be investigating?

Hint: Figure out what is changing/staying the same in the experiment

• How does friction change with surface type?

• Does a steeper ramp make the ball roll faster?

• What happens if the ball changes solor?

• What surface has the most bumps?

Which of these would be the best new testable question based on the original data?

• Which ball is the most fun to roll?

• How does changing the type of surface affect the speed of the ball?

• Can a student run faster than the rolling ball?

• How does rolling the ball the same distance affect the amount of time it takes?

BRAIN DUMP!!!!

Use this question to tell me literally EVERY SINGLE THING YOU KNOW about Unit 1.

Remember, our big question is Why does an object's motion change?

Use your science workbooks to help you if needed! Use all the anchor charts! Use all the resourecs we have EXCEPT for other people.

Which of the following is a question about forces that could be tested in a classroom investigation?

• Which airplane design travels the

  greatest speed?

• How does the height of a ramp affect how far a car rolls?

• Does gravity exist in all parts of the universe?

• Which toy car has the greatest mass?
