Balls and Ramps!

Over the past 2 weeks students have experimented with various inclined planes and marbles of different mass. After gathering some background knowledge, we conducted our first experiment and wrote a detailed lab report. Our question was, ¨Does the height of an inclined plane affect how far a marble will roll?¨  We conducted 3 trials at various heights and collected our data. Our claim is that, yes, the height will affect how far the marble rolls.  This week our variable will be the length of the inclined plane, using tubes of varying lengths.
