Potential and Kinetic energy
These 4 students built 2 cars.
When they are up they have a potential to move down.
The higher angle the cars start the farther they go.
Cars in motion exhibit energy of motion- Kinetic Energy.
These students went back to their class and had the whole room figure the averages for 3 trials each for 4 runs.
Fourth graders are good at finding averages.
