Science of the Winter Olympics: The Science Friction of Curling

About this video!

Ever tried curling?  This sport is harder than it looks.  Team members carefully slide their curling stones on the playing field, called the sheet, hoping to get multiple stones onto the target, which is called the house. The Sweepers help it happen, utilizing the physics concept of friction.  And it’s all happening on ice, which makes it kinda’ cool!
