    -- Here is the link https://www.sciencekids.co.nz/gamesactivities/forcesinaction.html


    -- Answer these questions (record the answers in a Google Doc)

    1) Did the truck move further down the track when you added more mass?  Why do you think this happens?

    2) What effect did using a steeper ramp have?   What force is involved (pick one): friction, gravity or air resistance? 

    3) What did the parachute do to the car?

    4) What combination of mass, slope and parachute made the truck travel the furtherest down the ramp?
