Identify friction
Grade 2 students identify friction as a force that affects how objects move, building a foundational understanding of force and motion in Physical Science through relatable everyday examples. Teachers can use this medium-difficulty worksheet to help students observe that friction slows objects down and to connect that understanding to surfaces they encounter in daily life. It fits within a broader unit on pushes, pulls, and the forces that act on objects.
Learning objectives
- Identify friction as a contact force that acts on moving objects
- Describe how different surfaces produce more or less friction
- Connect the concept of friction to observable effects on an object's motion
