Year 3: Friction Investigation

Back to News
30th Jan 2020

This week in science, we have looked at what friction is and how it vary's between different materials. We carried out an investigation which used force meters to measure how the amount of friction varies between different materials. 


We also discussed how air resistance is a type of friction that we experience in day to day life and looked into how cars are affected by this force.
