Friction

We are learning to describe friction...

Overall I think that friction is about stopping things, slowing things down, and rubbing things together, because friction can do that to everything and that is the most important thing. - Leila

The most important thing about friction is stopping, because if you don't have friction you will slip all over the ground. - Casey

I think that in the future they will invent shoes that never slip on wet ground. - Jaz

I think that in the future, lots of people will understand how to use friction. Some smart people already know how you can use it to help you. - Hawon

Friction is a force that can help you do your job. Friction can also cause trouble when you're doing your job. - Grace

Overall, friction is a force that happens when two or more objects rub together. - Ryan
