Discussion Prompts

Observing

  • What did you do to change how the car moved?
  • How far did your car drive, and why?
  • What was most difficult about measuring distance?
  • How was pushing the car different from letting the car travel down a ramp?
  • How did the ramp affect the distance the Unpowered Super Car traveled?

Predicting

  • Why do some cars go farther than others when pushed?
  • Why do some cars go farther than others when they go down a ramp?
  • Which option do they think would travel further: an Unpowered Super Car that goes down a slide or an Unpowered Super Car that was pushed with lots of force by the teacher?

Collaborating

  • What worked well in your group?
  • What would your team do differently if you had to build it again?
  • What challenges did you face?
