Dear Families,

Look out Ford Motor Company!  We have future engineers ready to work.  Yesterday during our Mad Science session we asked the question “Which ball will go down the ramp the fastest?”  We wrote down our hypotheses in our science notebooks.  Take a look!

Next, we tested out our hypotheses!  We wondered which ball would be fastest?  The choices were a golf ball, marble, super ball and a ping pong ball.  After several tests, we found out that the golf ball was fastest down the ramp!  Scientist Sebby wondered if the golf ball won because of what lane it was in.  

So we tested each ball in each of the different lanes and the golf ball won each time.  We realized that it did not matter what lane the golf ball was in, it was still the fastest.  Many scientists thought it was because the golf ball was “heavier.”

 

Next, our scientists made their own ramps out of blocks and tested them out.

Thanks to Charlie’s mom, Elijah’s mom, Gracie’s mom and Isaac’s aunt for helping us.  Thanks for taking such great pictures!

 

Have a great weekend!

Ms. Wright
