Getting to Know the Lesson

Let’s watch the video below to better understand the lesson.

	Task	Teaching Aids / Student Kit	Nature of Task
Introduction	Explain to children what is friction and how different surfaces have different amounts of friction	Poster: Properties of Materials, Flashcards	Group
Activity 1: Friction Experiment	Experiment with different surfaces to understand the concept of friction using a container with weight, a friction board, and marbles	Friction Board, Containers connected by a string, Marbles	Group
Discussion	Record the data of the friction experiment on the whiteboard and relate friction to the soles of our shoes/slippers		Group
Workbook	Page 14, 15, 16		Individual

Upon completing this lesson,
the children should be able to:

Identify that a rough surface has high friction

Identify that a smooth surface has low friction

Summarize that our shoes/slippers must have high friction so that we will not slip and fall down
