Sliding and Friction: Weekly Science Activity

By Amy Cowen on February 26, 2015 11:18 AM
Friction and sliding hands-on activity / Hand-on STEM experiment

In this week's spotlight: a fun physics activity that turns exploring the relationship between friction and sliding into a cool hands-on exercise. With a rubber band and a stack of coins, families can slingshot the coins on various surfaces to see how the surface affects how the coins slide. This science activity may feel like a game, but there is great science to be observed, so grab a rubber band, make a finger-based slingshot, and let the coins slide!
