Although the unit of dynamics was one of the harder units, I definitely found this one the most interesting as I could apply this to daily life. In this lab, students were assigned to conclude their findings on how mass and surface area affect friction. In the end, we found out that the surface area did not play a role in friction, but mass did. This is because mass affects the Fg, and Fg affects Fn, and Fn affects Ff, which is the force of friction. With all the calculations and research that are incorporated into the lab, I believe it’s safe to say that Critical Thinking was used. Communication was also included in this lab as we had to agree to conclude on the same findings in the end.
