Hi all!
I have to teach a group of middle schoolers about crime scene
investigations and I thought an accident reconstruction using skid
marks to determine initial velocity might be fun.
The kids can learn about forces, coefficients of friction (grippiness
in my
lingo) and acceleration.
Does anyone have a good lab written up for this? I can always
simplify it for my young but incredibly intelligent kids.
Thanks for any help!

Great idea! I don't think skid marks happen much due to anti-lock
brakes in all cars. You could easily use a bike, lock the wheels, and
measure the skid marks. Not good for the tires, but you only need to do it a few times.
You could push someone on a skateboard, then let them coast to a stop.
No skid marks, but you can measure the stopping distance to predict
the initial speed when the "braking" began.
You could do a similar activity with Hot Wheels cars. Use a track
ramp, let the car go, and measure the stopping distance along the horizontal tracks.
Same idea using a curling stone (or hockey puck) on an ice rink.
