Science Sunday: Friction

The more pages, the more friction! Today Aoife Ryle and Mark Dixon experiment with pages. They layer a page on top of another. The more pages, the more friction; when they try to pull the two books apart, the pages stay stuck together without any glue! How enjoyable; so next time you find your old school notebooks, grab a friend or family member and conduct this experiment. Watch the entire Science Sunday segment below to learn more and see precisely how Aoife Ryle makes the impossible possible.

There is so much more Science Sunday to explore. Check out the full gallery of segments on our blog: https://ctsciencecenter.org/blog_categories/science-sunday/.
