Students design wheels for a coaster car to travel varying terrain. In this motion and friction lesson, students discuss friction and motion and test wooden wheels on a track. Students then brainstorm how to increase friction and bring materials from home to incorporate in their wheel designs. Students test their mock up wheel designs and create a report on the results of their design process.
