Racing Down Ramps








                   ear  5  students  delved  into  the              By  varying  the  height  of  the  ramp,
                   fascinating  world  of  forces  by               they  observed  patterns  and  drew
           Yexploring how they act on a body                        conclusions  about  how  forces  like

           in motion. Through hands-on activities,                  gravity and friction influence movement.
           the  young  scientists  examined  the                    This  engaging  experiment  deepened
           effect of height on the distance a toy car               their  understanding  of  physics  and
           travelled on a  ramp. Their observation                  encouraged  curiosity,  critical  thinking

           revealed  that  the  heigher  the  height                and teamwork.
           of  a  ramp,  the  further  a  car  can
           travel,  demonstrating  the  relationship
           between gravitational force and motion.

           They also measured and recorded their
           findings which helped to develop their
           skills in data collection and analysis.
