Investigating the Distance Travelled by Toy Cars: A Science Fair Project

This science fair project by Annette D. Boles from Grand Canyon University explores which toy car travels the farthest down a ramp. The hypothesis posits that a short string will allow a pendulum effect, increasing the distance. The experiment involves placing various toy cars on a ramp, releasing them to roll, and measuring the distances traveled. Data is collected systematically to determine which car performs best, highlighting principles of physics and experimentation. This project encourages hands-on learning and critical thinking skills.
