Teaching with TechKNOWLEDGEy

Students will learn about physical weathering through this water erosion lab. This lab requires them to measure, graph, and write their reflections.

In this lab, students will discover how friction effects the speed of an object. Students will pair up. While one student runs a specified distance with their shoes, the other student will record. Students will then test their hypothesis without shoes. Students will graph their times and see how friction played a roll in their speed. This is a great, student centered activity that gives them real world examples of the needs for friction! It is also a great integrated lesson that includes math an
