What educators are saying

The younger students did 100% better at this than 4 & 5. The older kids seemed too over think the design and couldn't complete the task within 2 class periods. The younger kids did amazing and built a sled ramp quickly.

Rated 5 out of 5

My students absolutely loved this activity. It was very hands on and they loved working in small groups to build their ramps. They learned how the slope of the ramp changes the speed and distance. What a great activity to get everyone working together! I would definitely do this activity again!

Standards

NGSSK-2-ETS1-2

Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem.

NGSSK-2-ETS1-3

Analyze data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of how each performs.

NGSSK-2-ETS1-1

Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.

NGSS3-PS2-1

Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object. Examples could include an unbalanced force on one side of a ball can make it start moving; and, balanced forces pushing on a box from both sides will not produce any motion at all. Assessment is limited to one variable at a time: number, size, or direction of forces. Assessment does not include quantitative force size, only qualitative and relative. Assessment is limited to gravity being addressed as a force that pulls objects down.

NGSS3-5-ETS1-3

Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved.
