Friction

This simulation can be used to demonstrate how friction causes a material to heat up and melt. It shows how when two objects are rubbed together they heat up. When one reaches the melting temperature, particles break free as the material melts away. Sample learning objectives include: *Describe a model for friction...

Friction

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Describe the cause of friction between two objects.

• Explain how friction, generated by the interaction between two objects, can stop them from moving...

Friction Game - EAL

This resource uses pictures for pupils to identify high and low friction forces and classify them into 'useful' and 'not useful' using a sorting grid.  This activity is designed to take place in groups to improve the speaking and listening skills of the learners. This can then be extended by asking pupils to write...
