I found that the diameter and weight of the can don't make much of a difference‚ like I had suspected. I think this was because they did not differ very drastically. However‚ I found that the contents of the can did matter a lot. The more watery the contents were‚ the faster the can rolled. I think this was because there was less friction being put on the can from the inside contents.

My class and I did it as a project.First‚ we jotted down notes from the can.Then‚ we were ready to test it out.We tried it out many times.The results were that the heavier cans rolled faster and steadier.We then realized that if you try it on a smooth surface‚the results will be more accurate.

In This DO IT I used 5 movie cases (with movies in them ) and a 2Ft. and 8 inches long board. I used Cream of Mushroom and Cream of Potatoe. I did this test 3 times and Cream of Potatoe won all 3 times. I have done 1 more test of them going 1 at a time. Here is what happened. When I did Cream of Potatoe it went down in 4 seconds. Then I did Cream of Mushroom and it went down in 6 seconds. Cream of Potatoe wins!
