How does friction affect the motion of an object?

Yesterday, we did an exploration on how friction effected the motion of an object. They used different surfaces to see how friction effected the motion of the marble. They came up with that friction is a force that works against motion and it can speed up or slow down an object.

Every exploration we do, we discuss the independent variable (what changes in our experiment), what remains constant, why we do repeated trials, and we analyze the class data. We do this so we can become better scientists!!
