Distance vs Time Graphs

Here are the results from 5 of our Mousetrap Car tests!

To figure out our Mousetrap Cars average speed, we created a graph charting our best Mousetrap Car testing results and created a 'line of best fit' For those who do not know, a line of best fit is "A line on a scatter plot which can be drawn near the points to more clearly show the trend between two sets of data."
