Name

Date

Score /

Think about how high the ramp is and how fast the car goes.

Part A: Rolling down a ramp

Read the box. Then circle the best answer.

A ramp is a slope. Things roll down a ramp because gravity pulls them down.

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.

1.A ramp is made steeper. What happens to a toy car rolling down it?
  1. AIt goes slower.
  2. BIt goes faster.
  3. CIt stops.
  4. DIt goes up.
2.What pulls the car down the ramp?
  1. Athe wind
  2. Bgravity
  3. Cthe table
  4. Da magnet

4.A high ramp is (answer space) than a low ramp.
5.Gravity pulls the car down the ramp. ☐ True   ☐ False
6.The car will roll the same way on every ramp. ☐ True   ☐ False

Part C: Working scientifically: Zoe's ramp test

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.

7.On which ramp did the car roll the furthest? (answer space)
8.How far did the car roll on the 2-book ramp? (answer space)
9.What did Zoe find out? Use the words steep and far.
