Description

---

This book contains graphs showing hockey pucks as they travel across different surfaces, including real ice, synthetic ice, wood, and carpet. Experiments contain both an official ice hockey puck and a practice puck. Additional graphs show data from an air hockey table with and without the friction-reducing effects of air, as well as the movement of the air hockey puck on real ice. A series of coordinated graphs contain data on both initial force and motion. Collisions of hockey pucks with a wood surface are also included. These data can be used for lesson plans by teachers and parents.
