Friction Cubes (Set of 5)
United Scientific FRCUBE5 is a set of five large wooden cubes, each with four distinct surface materials—bare wood, paper, vinyl, and sandpaper—designed to explore how surface texture affects static and kinetic friction. These cubes are ideal for hands-on physics experiments involving force, motion, and surface interaction.
Key Features:
- Surface Materials: each cube features bare wood, paper, vinyl, and sandpaper
- Cube Size: large 2" × 2" × 2" for easy handling and visibility
- Versatile Use: can be pulled with a spring scale or slid down an inclined plane
- Durability: solid wood construction for repeated classroom use
- Instructional Support: includes activity guide aligned with NGSS standards
Technical Specifications:
- Cube Dimensions: 2" × 2" × 2"
- Surface Types: bare wood, paper, vinyl, sandpaper
- Quantity per Set: 5 cubes
- Required Accessories (not included): spring scale, masses, inclined plane
Applications:
Ideal for physics and physical science classrooms, this set allows students to:
- Measure and compare static vs. kinetic friction
