Name of experiment: FRICTION

1) Please CLICK HERE to try an experiment of friction.

The experiment is about to choose a type of track with lower friction.

2) Friction is a force between two surfaces that are sliding, or trying to slide, across each other. Friction always slows a moving object down. Air resistance is a type of friction. The amount of friction depends on the materials from which the two surfaces are made. Friction also produces heat, can be a useful force and sometimes we want to reduce friction for some purpose.

3) From the experiments, students can learn there is a different amount of friction on different types of surface. Students also learn that friction affect the distance travel of an object in different types of surface.
