Open Stax: Friction

For Students 9th - 10th
In the following interactive students will begin to discuss the general characteristics of friction and describe the various types of it. They will also calculate the magnitude of static and kinetic friction.

Science Struck: Static Friction vs. Kinetic Friction: The Differences

For Students 9th - 10th
Teaches what friction force is, the difference between static and kinetic friction, and how friction force is calculated.
Handout
University of Alaska

University of Alaska Fairbanks: Static and Kinetic Friction

For Students 9th - 10th
Explains what static and kinetic friction are, what their coefficients of friction are in different scenarios, and how these concepts are applied when looking at automobile braking distances and vehicle control when driving.

Teach Engineering: Sliders (For High School)

For Teachers 9th - 10th
In this hands-on activity, students learn about two types of friction - static and kinetic - and the equation that governs them. They also measure the coefficient of static friction and the coefficient of kinetic friction experimentally.

Teach Engineering: Sliding and Stuttering

For Teachers 6th - 9th
Students use a spring scale to drag an object such as a ceramic coffee cup along a table top or the floor. The spring scale allows them to measure the frictional force that exists between the moving cup and the surface it slides on. By...
