Skateboards

Chuck and Jake here. We love to go vertical when we ride our skateboards. We wanted to get the greatest performance out of our boards and wondered if choosing the right wheels makes a difference. Our question: How does wheel size affect our skateboarding performance?

How would you investigate this question?
Visit a skateboard shop to learn about different kinds of skate wheels that are available. Learn how to change them by yourself, too. Then develop a test you can do at your favorite skate park. Are you more interested in speed, or in doing tricks? How many test should you do with each wheel size? How many skaters are going to participate in your test? Describe your investigation in your notebook an discuss it with your teacher, or got to Skateboarding to learn more about Chuck and Jake's investigation.
