Discussion Prompts

Observing

• What did you investigate and what data did you collect?
• How did the car’s driving change when the velocity was higher? 
  • How do you explain that in terms of force?

Predicting

• What predictions can you make about the movement of the Code Super Car if you know its velocity? What predictions can you make about velocity if you know about the force that is acting on the car?
• Imagine you roll a heavy bowling ball and a light softball with the same force. Will they roll the same distance? Why or why not?
• Imagine you’re at a carnival. You have to throw a ball to push in a lever. Do you want the ball to hit the lever with more force or less force? Does that mean you throw it faster or slower?

Collaborating

• What worked well in your group?
• What would you change for next time?
• How did your group share responsibilities for coding and using VEXcode GO? Did that work well? What could you improve for next time?
