Which car will travel the furthest?

In Year 1 we have been busy learning about Toys in our topic. As part of all the fun and exciting activities we planned an experiment in Science to see which car would travel the furthest - the heaviest or lightest? After lots of talking about a 'fair test', ensuring the ramp was in the same position and the same person pushed the cars we found out that....



The lightest car went the furthest - 94cm. We also discovered that if an object is smaller it does not mean it is the lightest! Y1 were very keen to ensure that each car started in the same place. Next time they want to know if the height of the ramp changes how far the car travels.
