  Activity 3—A Speedy Slide 

Notes for Teachers 

Concepts 

Function explored: parabolic 

The motion of sliding down a playground slide is used 
to illustrate the real-world concept of changing 
velocity due to friction. 

Materials 

Ÿ

   calculator (see page 2 for available models) 

Ÿ

  CBR 2™ motion detector 

Ÿ

  unit-to-CBR 2™ or I/O unit-to-unit cable 

Ÿ

  EasyData application or RANGER program 

Ÿ

  Playground slide  

Hints 

The use of a playground area with several slides is 
preferable for this experiment. The slides should be 
straight. Slides with other shapes could be used in an 
extension. For safety reasons, remind your students 
not to attempt to pass each other while on the slide 
steps. 

You may wish to carry the interfaces, calculators, and 
motion detectors to the playground area in a box or 
boxes, and distribute the equipment to your students 
there. Remind your students that the Motion Detector 
does not properly detect objects closer than 15cm. 

Depending on the type of slides that are available, you 
may wish to change the way your students position 
themselves for data collection. Some slides have large 
platforms where the student with the Motion 
Detector and the student with the calculator and 
interface can be located. 

Students can use wax paper, slippery cloth, sand, and 
other materials to increase their speed. To enable your 
students to be prepared, be sure to alert them to Part 
II in advance. 

Typical plots 

 

A Speedy Slide 

 

Typical answers 

1.  See the Sample Results. 

2.  In the Sample Results, the Part 2 speed was 0.90 

m/sec greater than the Part 1 speed. Wax paper 
was used to decrease friction and increase speed. 

3.  Answers will vary. Speeds will differ because of 

differences such as contact area, weight, 
streamlining, and the use of low-friction materials. 

4. Answers will vary. 

5.  Increasing the height of the slide should increase 

speed. 

6.  The stone dropped from the top of the slide 

should hit the ground first because friction and the 
incline of the slide slow the rolling stone more. 

7.  The level part at the bottom of a slide slows sliders 

and prevents injuries. 

Extensions 

Design and carry out a plan to measure speed or 
velocity on a different piece of playground equipment. 

Have a contest to see who in the class or group can 
obtain the greatest speed going down a slide.
