STEMonstrations: Friction

Have you ever wished upon a shooting star? In the latest STEMonstration episode, learn about shooting stars and friction with NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli. Explore the three main types of friction and watch demonstrations of how static, kinetic, and fluid friction are used in the microgravity environment of the International Space Station.

Experiment with friction alongside your students using the corresponding, standards-aligned classroom connection: https://www.nasa.gov/stem-content/ste...
