Purpose: The objective of this lab was to measure the speed of battery- powered cars and movement with the time for the object to move a certain distance (Distance/ Time)
Procedure: In our lab, we measured the distance and time of a toy car, a runner and a walker. We used different distances for each and multiple trial for the different objects.

Conclusion:
During this lab, I used different objects of motion to measure speed of various movements. In this investigation, my group used the toy car, a runner, and a walker. Based on our observations, the toy car was the slowest speed, while the runner was the fastest speed. We used multiple distances and trials so we could gather more accurate information on the objects. The unit we used for distance was feet and the unit we used for time was seconds. Using these units, we came up with precise answers in all of our trials.
Error/ Analysis:
In this speed lab, not many errors occurred while doing the procedure. Some possible errors that could have occurred would have been recording the wrong time or distance, which would make our data not accurate.
