12 Performance Assessment Friction Investigation

Task: Your task is to investigate how the surface of a material affects how easily it will move over a surface. Your role in this activity is as member of a design team planning a new playground sliding hill. Your challenge is to recommend materials that students can sit on to make their slide down the new hill safe and fun. You will share the results and conclusions from your investigation with the other members of the playground design team in a written report.

Materials:  1 wooden block with hook  String with hook  1 plain wood board with eye hook  Pieces of felt, sandpaper, wax paper and other surface material for testing  35 metal washers (may need more during testing)

Directions: Put the plain wood board on the table so that the end of the board with the eye hook hangs over the table. It should look like this:

Put the small block on the board. Place it behind the red starting line. Take the string with the big metal hook and pull it through the small eye hook. Now loop the string onto the hook on the block. It should look like this:

Practice pulling the block along the board by putting washers on the hook. The back end of the block should cross the starting line. The number of washers on the hook is a measure of the amount of force needed to pull the small block forward.

13 Design and perform an investigation that will help you decide which material to recommend to the design team. You may select as many different materials as you have time to test. Be sure to do at least three trials for each material you test. Your project will be evaluated on how well you conduct this investigation, analyze the information collected, connect your findings with your recommendations and communicate to the design team.
