Friction

What are these post-it notes about?  Check this blog entry!

Did you know...

and...


Just like before the children learned these facts through reading, discussing, and experimenting.  

Here is some of what we did:
  • We rubbed our hands together.
  • We watched things slow down.
  • We rolled items down a ramp and saw which "floor" had the least amount of friction (because it went the farthest!)
  • We leaned on things to show friction at our feet keeping us standing.
  • We rolled and pushed things across the floor to see the amount of friction it created (see below)


car, ball, dice



Through all of this we learned... friction is a force that happens when things rub together or touch.  And it slows down movement.
