All of them went at least two feet.

My hypothesis was wrong I did not predict that the toy truck was going to go nine tiles away from me that was a real surprise for me.

Conclusion

7 of 7

The reason that I did this project was because I was wondering what would happen if I rolled different toy cars and they all have different weights down a ramp. I did something similar in my class we rolled a battery down our books. It was fun so I wanted to try other objects to find the results.
