Implement Newton’s First Law of Motion as a teaching principle with this packet: students (bodies at rest) need many hands-on activities (impressed forces) to learn (compelling change)! This collection of Physical Science Action Labs will give your students plenty of experience with matter and motion. The labs include determining characteristics of matter, focusing specifically on friction.

Explores the force of friction through ten simple experiments using everyday objects.

Ideal for today's young investigative reader, each A True Book includes lively sidebars, a glossary and index, plus a comprehensive "To Find Out More" section listing books, organizations, and Internet sites. A staple of library collections since the 1950s, the new A True Book series is the definitive nonfiction series for elementary school readers.

Provides readers with an engaging introduction to friction. With colorful spreads, clear text, helpful diagrams, and a "Science in Action" activity, this book offers an exciting look at physics in the real world.

Introduce students to the different types of friction with this science reader that features easy-to-read text. Nonfiction text features include a glossary, index, and detailed images to facilitate close reading and help students connect back to the text. Aligned to state and national standards, the book also includes a fun and engaging science experiment to develop critical thinking and help students practice what they have learned.

In this stimulating nonfiction book, readers will discover the various types of friction--including rolling friction, sliding friction, fluid friction, and static friction--and the huge impacts it has on nature, machines, and our lives. In addition, readers are encouraged to perform basic experiments to assist in the understanding of friction, kinetic energy, and water resistance. With real-life examples, colorful images, accommodating graphs and charts, and informational text featuring Time For Kids© content, children will be inspired and engaged as they read through this book. This book also includes text features such as a table of contents, glossary, and index, as well as resources like a bibliography and a list of websites for learning more. This high-interest book will engage readers from cover to cover!

Introduces young readers to friction, its characteristics, and its uses in the world. Includes instructions for an activity to demonstrate some of friction's characteristics.
