Summary of Digital Lab: Ramp
Summary
The goal of the Ramp virtual lab is to give teachers a base-line score on students' science practices while also allowing students the opportunity to explore the phases of inquiry through a virtual investigation. Students set up a hypothesis, conduct experiments, and analyze their findings to learn how using different ramps and sleds impacts how fast the sled moves and how far the sled travels.
Driving Questions
-
Determine how the height of the tower impacts the total distance traveled.
-
Determine how the size of the sled impacts the total distance traveled.
-
Determine how the roughness of the ramp impacts the time to the end of of the ramp.
