What Is A Simple Machine

1. What has been done to make this a fair test

we all use the same things to modify our car



2. What forces are needed to make the car go faster and how have you modified your car accordingly?

Push to make the car move forwards and gravity to pull the car down the track
i added a balloon to the car


3. What forces are used to slow the car down and what adjustments have you done to slow the car down

Drag to slow the car down
I used a balloon to make air resistance to slow the car down


4. What force are used to make the car go further and what adjustments are needed to make the car go further

Lift push
none

My Report On Making Paper Planes

Prediction :

 I think that the bigger the wings on a plane the further it will go because it can glide further

Hypothesis :

The bigger the wings the better it will glide

Forces on a paper plane : 

Methods :

I made a normal paper plane with bigger wings and this is what it looked like

But we didn't use it we used one from the other people in my team

Results :

It was very straight but it didn't go that far it went at least five tables far out of eight

Physics Of Car Racing

What I tried today- why I tried it: My group and I tried to stick a balloon to the car, we were hoping that it would make the car go faster but slow it down in the end.

What happened when I tried to race it? When I tried to race it, it didn't spin around, it didn't go sideways, the car went straight and it stopped pretty close to the line.

What will I try next time? Next time I would try to change it more, and to research more ideas about how to make our car better.

What research did I do? I researched 'how to make a toy car go faster', it didn't really come up with anything helpful. All of the ideas that the sites gave me were to add batteries, or to add a fan on it.

Cars

What problem does our car already have?

Our car keeps turning sideways once it hits the bottom of the ramp.

-What is causing the problem?
Luke- The ramp might be a bit uneven.
Sarah- Maybe because it's going down too fast.

-What do you plan to correct it?
Luke- Make the ramp even on both sides.
Sarah- Add blue tack or paper to the car.

How do you think you will make your car go faster?

Luke- Make the ramp go higher
Sarah- Make the ramp higher

How do you think you will slow your car down?

Luke- Change the weight
Sarah- Put tape on the ramp

Wednesday may 2017

What equipment will we need?
-Paper
-Sticky tape
-Blue tack
-Clay

Changes we could make:
Add a balloon to the car

What Is A Simple Machine?

What is a simple machine ?

• A machine is a system that changes the relationship between effort {the force applied} and load {the weight lifted or moved}

Machine makes our lives easier .

• Machines help us to lift ,push ,pull ,turn ,cut & join things.
• Wheels , rollers , levers , gears and pulleys all make it easier to move a heavy load by reducing friction or multiplying it
