What happens when you push or pull objects on different surfaces?

Write down your thoughts or questions about friction and how it might differ between materials or conditions.

Make Predictions:

What will happen when you place an object on an inclined plane?

Will different materials behave differently?

Will heavier objects slide more easily, or does weight not matter?

Write your predictions before starting the experiment.

What angles will you test?

How will you ensure your measurements are accurate?

Discuss and write down your plan.

What can you say about how different materials interact with the inclined plane?

Based on your results, what do you think the angles you measured tell us about friction?

Do you think the weight of the object matters? Why or why not?

How might you test your ideas further?
