Understanding Friction in Forces and Motion for 5th Grade Science

This lesson explores the concept of friction, the force that occurs when two surfaces rub against each other. Students can easily observe friction by rubbing their hands together, feeling the heat generated as a result. To minimize friction, various methods are introduced, such as using lubricants like oil, ball bearings, water, and polished metal surfaces. Suggestions for further learning include a fun video by Bill Nye the Science Guy about motion and friction, as well as an episode of "Magic School Bus" that illustrates life without friction.

  1. Friction 5th Grade Science Forces and Motion 2013 M.B. Pardington, BPS

  2. What is friction? Frictionis the rubbing of two surfaces. It is the force of two surfaces coming in contact with each other.

  3. You can make friction very easily:

  4. Rub your hands together. Picture source: http://www.imsa.edu/programs/kidsinstitute/wheels/fi4.php

  5. Do you feel heat? That is the result of friction.

  6. Check out this website on friction: http://www.fearofphysics.com/Friction/frintro.html

  7. We CAN, however, use some things to minimizefriction: Oil (lubricant) Ball bearings Water Polished metal (slide)

  8. WatchBill Nye the Science Guy: Motion and Frictionfor more information.

  9. What would it be like to have nofriction? Watch the “Magic Schoolbus Plays Ball” video to find out.
