Friction Board with Blocks (Set)

United Scientific FRCBRD is a hands-on apparatus designed to explore how surface texture affects frictional force. With four distinct surfaces and matching wooden blocks, this set enables students to investigate how different materials and added mass influence motion resistance.

Key Features:

• Surface Materials: cardboard, sandpaper (220 grit), cork, and vinyl
• Block Design: smooth wooden blocks sized to match each surface
• Comparative Study: drag blocks across each surface to measure frictional differences
• Mass Variation: blocks can be loaded with additional weights (not included)
• Instructional Support: includes activity guide for structured experiments

Technical Specifications:

• Surface Sections: each measures 8" × 3"
• Block Dimensions: 1.75" × 1.75" × 0.75"
• Material: wood (blocks and board base)
• Required Accessories (not included): spring scale and masses
• Quantity per Set: 1 board with 4 surfaces and 4 blocks

Applications:

Ideal for physics and physical science classrooms, this apparatus allows students to:

• Compare static and kinetic friction across materials
• Investigate the effect of normal force on friction
• Conduct inquiry-based experiments on motion and resistance
