Science Fair Project for Middle School Students: “Slip and Slide ...

There are many factors that can affect the amount of friction between two surfaces. In your experiment, you will be measuring friction and finding out how weight, type of surface, and other factors affect friction. Write a question that asks what you want to learn about friction from your scientific investigation.

Forming a Hypothesis – A Smart Guess What is friction? How is friction measured? How is friction helpful to man? When is friction harmful? These and many other questions can be answered by doing some research in your library. Before a scientist plans the procedure for a scientific investigation, he or she finds out what others have learned about the topic. Read some books and articles about friction.

The experiment can be constructed easily with materials found around the house or bought at a local hardware store. Washers are being used to measure the force of friction. How many washers does it take to move the block? What would happen if you taped different kinds of materials on the bottom of the block, such as waxed paper or sandpaper?
