- Equipment
- Inclined plane
- Cylinders with various densities
- Smaller polystyrene board
- How to assemble and operate
- 1.Setup the inclined plane using the board at the back of the plane. Put the polystyrene board at the end on the inclined plane.
- 2. Take various cylinders and let them roll on the inclined plane, with the same starting time and observe which one makes it to the end first and why.
