Experiment With Friction
Vollis Simpson is an artist who creates kinetic sculptures and whirligigs.
He uses bearings in all of his spinning pieces so that they move smoothly.
The experiment below is a nice introduction to friction and bearings.

Friction
Students will understand the following:
1. Friction is a force that opposes motion, or makes it difficult for an object

to move across a surface.
2. The amount of friction depends on the surface type and the force pressing

two surfaces together.
3. Everyday life provides examples of how friction both helps and hinders

I really Liked This Site- especially the "Interactive Stories"
http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/games/

A colourful website. Loads of information on the environment, with games

and puzzles for kids of all ages

You will be off surfing soon after starting here.

Full of information with a search engine

TryScience.org wants you to experience the excitement of

science and technology through online and offline interactivity with

science and technology Adventure (thematic interactive experiences),

Experiments, Field Trips (interactive science centre features, Curious?

(polls and activities based on a hot topic question), and Live Cams.

Go Here!

A fantastic site - especially the colour in site with health and science topics.
