Friction!

Today’s Science class had the students explore friction.  We are testing four different items (penny, marble, magnet, and wood) over three different surfaces (carpet, linoleum, and material) using two types of pushes (hard and soft).  We noticed the shape of the item, the surface the item is pushed on, and the amount of force we used to push the item affect friction.  Some items have less friction than others.
