Science - Friction.

Date: 14th Nov 2020 @ 11:02am

We carried out an investigation into friction / grip.  We wanted to discover which surface had the best grip. We worked in teams to find out at what height the ramp needed to be for the car to start to move.  Each ramp was covered in a different material. We discussed what we had to do to make it a fair test.  Some groups results showed that sandpaper had the must grip, while others showed plastic.  The children thought this might be due to each groups car having different wheels.
