ACTIVITY 1
"Just Keep Moving"
What to expect: Compare the movement of a toy car on different surfaces.
What you need:
a toy car
bath towel
ruler
baby powder
handkerchief chalk or tape (as marker)
What to do:
GOD
Set-up A
1. Measure a 1-meter distance on the floor.
2. Using chalk or tape, mark a starting line and finishing line.
3. Spread the baby powder on the floor.
Push the toy car over the floor with baby powder and observe.
5. Measure how far the toy car has moved from the starting line once it has stopped.
Set-up B
1. At the same distance (1-meter), place a bath towel on the floor.
2. Push the toy car with approximately the same force you exerted in the first set-up
over the bath towel and observe.
3. Measure how far the toy car has moved from the starting line once it has stopped.
Set-up C
At the same distance (1-meter), place handkerchiefs on the floor.
2. Push the toy car with approximately the same force you exerted in the first set-up
over the handkerchief and observe.
3. Measure how far the toy car has moved from the starting line once it has
stopped.

handkerchief
What to answer:
1. On which set-up did the toy car move the shortest? Farthest?
car moved
2. Did the different surfaces on which the toy car moved to affect its motion? Explain
your answer.
3. Rolling friction is a kind of kinetic friction that exists between the different surfaces of the
floor and the wheels of the toy car. Based on the activity, describe rolling friction
