Friction is Vital in Getting to Finish Line

(1/10): Students in Mrs. Whitworth and Ms Swain's sixth grade science classes demonstrated Newton's 1st Law of Motion and how friction plays a part.
Newton's 1st Law of Motion states that an object at rest or an object in motion will stay at rest or in motion until acted upon by force. Students discovered that friction plays a huge part in motion. The students had to determine which student would cross the finish line first based on the sole of the shoes. Of course, tennis shoes had more grip, but once hand towels were taped to the soles of the tennis shoes, they lost their grip and won every time! Stay tuned for the next Science Scenario!
