Friction

fric·tion (frĭk'shən)
n.
The rubbing of one object or surface against another.

Today we looked at friction. It was so fun! We rubbed our hands together an then rubbed them together using salt, soap, water and material. They all created some friction but they felt different. We learnt that friction helps cars stop on the road and that when it is wet like today there is less friction.
