On this page you will find a Grade 10 Physical Sciences Term 3 investigation that measures the acceleration of a block sliding down an inclined plane. It sets out the apparatus needed, including a smooth track, stopwatch, and books to raise the incline, along with a detailed step-by-step method. Learners test how different sliding surfaces affect the block’s acceleration by timing its motion under controlled conditions. The investigation builds practical experimental skills alongside theoretical physics concepts. This investigation helps Grade 10 learners understand acceleration and friction through hands-on experimentation, a key Term 3 Physical Sciences skill.
