What you’ll teach

Clear goals. Useful learning.

  • Students will explain how pebbling affects friction on curling ice.
  • Students will define friction and coefficient of friction.
  • Students will relate Newton's three laws to the motion of a curling stone.
  • Students will calculate or investigate friction across different surfaces.
