The purpose of this interactive qualifying project was to design a set of friction experiments for the fifth grade at Rice School in Holden, MA. The experiments were designed in accordance with the constructivist model of learning and implemented teaching strategies found in relevant literature. The experiments were tested on a pilot group of Rice students and found to fulfill the intended objectives.
