This Hot Friction lesson plan also includes:
Sixth graders use small electronic devices known as thermistors to measure the temperature beneath an object such as a coffee cup as it slides across a surface. By choosing different surfaces, 6th graders can compare in a quantitative manner the amounts of friction that are encountered. Although the electronic devices are very easy to use and can be used over and over again, the materials needed to do this exercise cost about $150-225, depending on class size.
