__Toy Car Experiment__
Question: In what ways can you reduce friction effectively to make a toy car have less friction and a greater speed. Hypthosis: Friction can be reduced on the toy car by making an aerodynamic design to reduce fluid friction. Also, add wheels to the bottom of the car to reduce sliding friction and creating rolling friction. Independent Variable: Ways to reduce friction Dependent Variable: Speed of toy car



__Research:__ To reduce the fluid friction minimize the size of the front of the car so there is more aerodynamics. Minimize surface area so there is less contact with the air. Add wheels to reduce friction Put whees on the inside of the vehicle to reduce surface area.

Results: The car needed 0.5 newtons My car needed 0.1 newtons
