Today, Friday the 13th, we completed our Hot Wheels Lab and then applied our knowledge gained from the lab in order to race our cars and come up with the fastest car. Conclusions based on the lab data were also written. Have a great weekend. If you forgot how to write a conclusion, the link to the template is below.

Distance=Rate/Time: Hot Wheels Style
Hot Wheels lab today in class to test either the height of the ramp or the mass of the car and what effect it has on speed. Fun times in science class. We will complete the lab tomorrow with conclusions and then maybe a few races to see who the real Speed Racer is!

Investigative Planning!
In class today, we worked in groups planning out how we were going to test one of two questions about speed. We will be using Hot Wheels track and cars tomorrow and Friday in a lab format trying to find the answers to our questions. Each group must supply their own car.
