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.

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.

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!

Make science simple! This book features easy and fun Science Experiments with Gravity & Motion using household items. Young readers can assemble experiments at home from an Unbelievable Balancing Act to Very Peculiar Pendulums. No laboratory needed! Each activity includes easy instructions with how-to photos, and short science explanations. Use fun to introduce math and science to kids. Super simple says it all. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. Super Sandcastle is an imprint of Abdo Publishing, a division of ABDO.

A baseball player slides on the ground to tag a base. A toy car's wheels rub against the floor and slow the toy car down. Friction is at work all around you. But what exactly is friction? And how does it affect different objects? Read this book to find out!
