How do different surfaces affect Friction?

This week, Cherry class were challenged to design an experiment to test Friction on different surfaces. The children worked as scientists to ensure that they kept their tests fair and tried to ensure that the results were as accurate as possible. The experiments ranged from pulling a tray of weights with a Newton meter, to timing how long it took toy car to roll down a ramp, to measuring the height of a slope needed to make a car start rolling down a ramp.
