Description
A pack of 5 different surfaces designed for attachment to The Ramp. The surfaces assist the young scientist with many different activities and experiments including friction measurement and timing.
Surfaces are
- sandpaper
- rubber
- carpet
- plastic
- corriflute
Approx Product Dimensions:
L x 100cm
W x 17.2cm
H x 2.5cm
- Key Stage 3 Physics - Motion and Forces: Forces associated with deforming objects; stretching and squashing – springs; with rubbing and friction between surfaces with pushing things out of the way; resistance to motion of air and water. Speed and the quantitative relationship between average speed distance and time (speed = distance ÷ time)
- Key Stage 4 Physics - Forces and Motion: Identify forces between solid objects which stretch compress bend and turn or affect movement. Explain that frictional forces affect movement and depend on the properties of the surfaces involved. Estimating speeds and accelerations in everyday contexts.
- Use this surface set with the ramp set to investigate frictional forces.
