A small investigation

Use a toy car and a gentle ramp. Predict what will happen when the ramp changes, then compare your prediction with what you observe.

Think like a scientist

  • Describe what you notice.
  • Ask a question and make a prediction.
  • Explain what you discovered, using your observations.

Adapt the activity to your child’s age and interests. Ask the classroom teacher how it connects with current learning.
