Identify friction — free printable Grade 4 Science worksheet

Fourth grade students investigate friction in this Physical Science worksheet, identifying how this contact force acts on moving objects and how surface texture, weight, and material affect the amount of friction experienced. Teachers can use it as a lab companion, a post-investigation analysis task, or a concept-check that pushes students to apply their understanding to new scenarios within the Forces and Motion strand. Understanding friction builds the conceptual base needed for analyzing real-world engineering and design problems.

Learning objectives

  • Identify friction as a force that opposes the motion of objects in contact
  • Explain how surface texture and material affect the amount of friction
  • Apply knowledge of friction to predict and explain outcomes in real-world scenarios
