Hannah wanted to determine how force and mass affect a toy car.  She gathered two toys cars, books, straight tracks, meter sticks, and used a flat surface to conduct her experiment.  She first created a ramp that was 20 cm tall using books.  She placed one straight track at the top of the ramp and connected the second to the bottom of the first track and placed it on the table.  She placed car 1 at the top of the track and car two where the two tracks met.  She tested how far car 2 traveled.  She then repeated the experiment using a ramp that was 30 cm tall.  

What is Hannah's testable question? 

• • How does changing the height of a ramp affect how many meter sticks need to be used?

• • How does using a straight track affect how high the ramp is?

• • How does changing the height of a ramp affect how far a toy car travels?

• • How does using a straight track affect how far a toy car travels?
