Philip Harris Ramp Set
Philip Harris Ramp Set
Product code: HE1808932
Product Description
Neat and compact ramps for floor or tabletop use. The solid wood ramps adjust to different heights and take apart for easy storage.
A fantastic tool for investigating forces: move onto different surfaces to investigate the effects of friction; raise or lower the ramps to investigate the effects of gravity. A great way to slow down demonstrations for 'falling'. Will a heavier or lighter car reach the bottom of the ramp first? Would also be great to use as part of cross-curricular road safety work.
The set includes 5 ramps and 5 open-backed trucks, which can be loaded for other investigations.
- Dimensions of ramp: 115mm x 500mm.
A set of Ramp Surfaces are available to purchase separately (B8R08008).
- Very easy to assemble and useful for various
- Key Stage 3 Physics - Motion and Forces: Forces associated with deforming objects; stretching and squashing – springs; with rubbing and friction between surfaces, with pushing things out of the way; resistance to motion of air and water. Speed and the quantitative relationship between average speed, distance and time (speed = distance ÷ time)
- Key Stage 4 Physics - Forces and Motion: Identify forces between solid objects which stretch, compress, bend, and turn, or affect movement. Explain that frictional forces affect movement and depend on the properties of the surfaces involved. Estimating speeds and accelerations in everyday contexts.
- Investigate frictional forces using the Ramp Surfaces Set (not included)
