Ideal for hands-on science lessons, this set of 10 friction blocks helps students explore the principles of friction and pressure through practical investigation. Designed for use in primary science, these blocks support curriculum topics on forces and motion.

• Set includes 10 MDF blocks, each with a different backing: plain, carpet, foam, sandpaper, and rubber.

• A fun way to introduce students to the concepts of friction and pressure

• The blocks also come with comprehensive instructions for use that include a range of experiments and some sample results for comparison

• All blocks are the same size to ensure fair testing and enable pressure calculations.

• Each block features an integral hook for easy attachment to a Newton meter.

• Suitable for use independently or with a ramp set.

• Includes instructions with experiment ideas and sample results.

Please Note: The sandpaper has the potential to damage surfaces, so we advise running the blocks on a piece of cardboard to enable the results to be compared.
