Crew Ambler – Friction Investigation

In this lesson we investigated friction. We learnt that friction is the force that acts against us when we move something heavy. We learnt that the rougher the surface the stronger the friction. For example we found that the car did not travel as far on the carpet compared to the table. This was because the carpet was rough therefore there was more friction acting against the car so it did not travel as far. The table was smoother as there was less friction which caused the car to travel further. Well done Crew Ambler a great science lesson!
