This Friction activity also includes:
Friction is a force that can be felt, which means that learners with visual impairments can experiment to feel and understand the concept of friction. They slide a rock along a smooth table, and then they slide a rock across sandpaper, comparing and discussing the differences they feel. A string and a spring scale are added into the mix to help them learn how constant velocity and Newtons of force relate to friction.
