A steep ramp is high at one end. A gentle ramp is low.
Things go faster down a steep ramp. They often roll further at the bottom too.
Read Zoe's results. Then answer the questions.
Zoe made a ramp with a tray and some books. She let the same car go from the top each time. She did not push it.
She counted footsteps to see how far the car rolled. 1 book: 3 footsteps. 2 books: 6 footsteps. 3 books: 9 footsteps.
