GRADE 8 QUIMESTER I PROJECT IN SCIENCE
AN INVESTIGATION INTO FRICTIONAL FORCE
INSTRUCTIONS
You should already have made a friction cube, with 4 different surfaces. Now you will investigate and
present a piece of research, using your friction cube.
Although you may want only to investigate the first option below, there are other possibilities:
1. Investigate the different frictional forces on each of the 4 sides of the cube.
2. Investigate how the frictional forces differ on one side only, when different masses are added on to
the cube.
3. On one side only, investigate how an incline affects frictional force.
You will generate results by measuring how long the

rubber band stretches before making the friction cube
move.
You must:
1. PLAN the investigation – using the PLANNING format
2. CONDUCT the investigation, providing foto evidence, and collect results
3. CONCLUDE the investigation with:
a. A table of results
b. A graph
c. A conclusion and justification
d. An evaluation of what you did, with recommendations for improving the investigation

GUIDANCE
PLANNING
 Be specific and precise and scientific
 Use units
 Variables
o Independent – what is it that you, the investigator, are changing
o Dependent – your results
o Controlled – what must be maintained the same all the time to make this a FAIR TEST
 Hypothesis
o simple statement – which surface do you think will produce most friction
o justification
 Procedure – so that someone else could follow your instruction and get the same results
TABLE OF RESULTS
 Use a ruler and make the table look good. Columns and rows – how many do you need?
 Do you want to do repeats and get average results?
GRAPH
 Line or Bar (or scatter)?
 Full sheet of paper
 Axes:
o Y axis are your results – the dependent variable
o X axis in the independent variable – what you change
o Label axes, including units
o Title
o Pencil – maybe some colour at end – or digital
CONCLUSION
 Simple statement – REJECT (most probably!) or SUPPORT the hypothesis
 Justification, using your data and results
EVALUATION
 Identify >3 errors in your investigation which might have affected your results
 Suggest a way to reduce each of these 3 errors
 Make some recommendations for future investigation

-PLANNING AN INVESTIGATION INTO FRICTION-

Use this format to prepare for the investigation, by completing each of the boxes.
WHAT AM I INVESTIGATING?
WHAT EXACTLY WILL I BE MEASURING? (What you measure will be your results)
WHAT WILL I BE FINDING OUT?

GRAPH YOUR RESULTS IN THE MOST APPROPRIATE WAY (You may make a digital graph if you prefer)

-CONCLUSION AND EVALUATION-

Complete the investigation by writing your conclusion and making an evaluation

These are 3 aspects of the investigation which might have produced errors:
