Year 3 friction experiment

Lesson: Science

Class: Year 3 Year: 2015 - 2016

Today in science the chlidren were learning all about the force, friction. We carried out an experiment to test how different surfaces create different amounts of friction. We found out that the rougher or bumpier a surface, the more friction is created and the smoother a surface, the less friction is created. This means that a toy car moves quicker along smoother surfaces such as tin foil, and slower on a more bumpy surface like bubble wrap.
