Downhill Race

Visitors race wheels of varying weights and weight distributions on inclined tracks, and make predictions on how fast the wheels will roll and hypothesize about why they roll at different speeds.

Contrary to their beliefs, it is not the mass, but the distribution of mass that makes it roll faster or slower.
