here will the racing cars meet?
Clearly show your prediction on your sheet
How confident are you that your prediction is correct?
Talk to your neighbour
How do your predictions compare?
at information would help you to make a more confident pr
is where the race cars were after 4 seconds
se this information to refine your prediction
What’s your new prediction? What strategies did you use?
In 4 seconds0 --> 10 Speed =
In 4 seconds20 --> 26 Speed =
Hmm…
e have a starting point for both race cars …
We have a speed per unit for both race cars …
