This week our Year 3 physicists conducted some exciting investigations to discover which material creates the most friction. Using a toy car and a ramp, the children tested various materials, including paper, fabric, bubble wrap, foil and plastic. The children's challenge (set by Sci) was to observe how different surfaces affected the car's speed as it travelled down the ramp. By accurately measuring the speed at which the car travelled on each material, they were able to determine which one produced the most friction. The investigation helped the children better understand the science behind forces and motion, and sparked great discussions about how friction impacts their daily lives.
