This Science NetLinks lesson is the first in a two part series on ramp building. In “Let it Roll!,” students explore ramps, discuss why different ramps work better than others, and practice procedures for testing designs and recording results. These activities provide a good starting point for the follow up lesson, entitled Ramp Builder, in which students will attempt to design, build, and test their own ramps.
