Science – Friction

Class 2 have been learning about friction in science. We have been finding out about different types of friction e.g. if you were to ski on a road the skis would barely move because roads have more friction but if you were to ski on snow the skis would go faster because snow has less friction. The next thing we tried was we got a cube and put different materials on each side of the cube, then put string around a cup and then taped the cup onto the cube. After putting the cup on the cube each group had a bunch of weights and then the groups put the weights in the cup for each material to see how much was needed for each side to move and wrote how much weight each side took. Then two people from each group typed their results on the computer and we compared all the results.
