Really smart, based on some really good research. If you do it that way, kids can get Newton. If you don't teach friction, virtually no students will give up their grasp on impetus.<br /><br />But....the NGSS deleted friction from the curriculum. Odds of any student getting a Newtonian worldview without getting friction? Zero. <br /><br />Don't believe me. Check it out for yourself. String search the work "friction" in the two documents, and see what you get. And take a look at optics. And gravity. And when you think you can't stand it anymore, see what happened to the Big Bang.

I'm not sure that many middle school brains are ready for the level of abstraction necessary to understand (rather than simply recite) Newton's Laws, to imagine how objects would behave without friction, and to clearly distinguish between velocity and acceleration.jsb16https://www.blogger.com/profile/15026570673498674977noreply@blogger.com
