Friction on the Run - Part 2 of Newton's laws
by Vickie Campbell
From this lesson, students will discover how friction affects how things move. This is an excellent activity that will allow students to be creative and build a marble run to show friction. This lesson will show students Newton's first law of inertia through understanding how friction affects motion. It is a lesson that will allow each student to become innovative engineers creating and modeling motion.
