Friction Experiment

Question: Will the marble chariot go further on the carpet or on the lino?

Hypothesis: We think it will go further on the lino.

Equipment: 2 small cardboard boxes with 4 marbles each.

Method: Sit the cardboard boxes on top of the marbles. 2 children push the boxes to see which one goes further on the carpet then on the lino.

Results: The marble chariots went further on the lino.

Conclusion: The marble chariots went further on the lino because it is smoother than the carpet so there was less friction.
