CODERS Force, Motion, and Friction Module

Force, motion, and friction are operative principles in the physical world, but they can be measured and manipulated by digital work. For example, Micro:Bit can be programmed to measure friction. The presentation below can introduce you and your students to these principles.

Force, Motion, and Friction Presentation (via CODERS): The CODERS PowerPoint on Force, Motion, & Friction helps familiarize teachers and students with vocabulary and key concepts for this topic. It also demonstrates several ways of creating, manipulating, and measuring friction—including doing so with Cutebot and Scratch coding.
