Model for students how to set up their Data Collection Sheet or use the preset Lab 1 Data Collection Example document. Make sure students are clear on their methods for recording who pushed the car each time using one group as an example. Data Collection Sheet

Facilitate
Facilitate discussions with students as they work by asking the following questions that encourage students to use spatial language.
What direction does your car travel?
How far did it travel?
Can you explain how to make the Unpowered Super Car travel farther?
How would you make the car travel a shorter distance?

Remind
Remind students to take turns pushing the car, and to push the car with different amounts of force (pushing it hard or soft).

Ask
Ask the students what patterns they see. When does the car go further? What does the data tell you about what might happen next? Ask students to make predictions based on what they observe.
