Boys & Girls,
You worked well in your table groups to complete the lab testing slope and load using empty and full tin cans. See your pictures of you at work! What were your conclusions? What factors could have influenced your results?
Division 7 Grade 3/4: We are shooting for the stars!
My conclusion is that increasing the load will make the can go less farther than the empty one because the fewer loads there is, the farther it will go. Also, if you increase the slope with four books, the can will go farther than with the two book slope since it depends on the slope how high or low it is.
The lighter one (empty) went farther and the one that’s full didn’t go to far. But when we had 4 books it went farther, both full and empty. It was fun to do the experiment!
My conclusion is that lighter the mass of the object the father it will go because less things are holding it down. If you increase the height it will have a steeper angle to roll down. it was a very fun experiment.
My conclusion I thought was the heavy one because the weight pulls it down but when we did the project it slew down! I guess because of the weight was a little to heavy it pushed down which caused it to slow down!
Well………. My conclusion went wrong bY ALOT. like the empty can rolled about 100cms more. In testing the slope. Anyways I had fun down the experiment
Yes, it was good to talk about and think about why we got those results….rather than the heavier load going farther. What did we figure out were some causes?
