Garden Test Notes

Nia's class makes a toy path beside the school garden's pumpkin patch. A pumpkin picture marks a line at the end. Their goal: make the truck slow down and stop at that line.

They test two paths twice. They use the same truck, start line, and gentle push.

Path A is smooth. The truck rolls fast past the line both times.

Path B has felt near the end. The truck slows on the felt and stops at the line both times.

Which choice meets the class's goal?
