Materials:
A smooth metal tray notebook a small flat glass
Bottle water soap
Procedure:
1. Hold up the tray on the books to make a slope?
2. Wet one side of thr tray and slide the bottle down each side in turn.
3. Now rub the soap on the wet side and slide the bottle down again. Observe the movement
of the bottle.
Guide Questions:
1. Is there friction between the bottle and the dry metal tray? Why do you say so?

HOW FRICTION AFFECTS MOTION?
Problem: How does friction affects motion of an object ?
Materials needed:
Three textbooks of different weight and dimensions
String (8 feet in length)
Three different testing surfaces like a table, carpet or tile floor
Scale
Tape Measure/yard stick
Stop-watches
Procedure:
1.Collect three of your school textbooks that are different size and weight (you can use books
of various sizes that you have at home as well).
2. Record the weight of each of the books before experimenting.
3. Find three different surfaces to slide (or push) the textbooks on (examples: table, carpet, tile
floor, etc.).
4.Being sure not to damage the textbook, slide the textbook along various surfaces, keeping a
keen eye on the frictional force that each surface has on the movement of the textbooks.
5. Record the time and distance that each book traveled on the three different surfaces.
6. Tie strands of string around each textbook, and this time, pull each book and record the time
it takes to pull the same distance you pushed the book on the three surfaces. Write down
your observations and record the times of this experiment.
Guide Questions:
1. Which book travels a short distance? Why?
____________________________________________________________________________
2. Which book travels a long distance? Why?
____________________________________________________________________________
3. Do you think which surface shows lesser frictional force?
____________________________________________________________________________
4. Do you think which surface shows greater frictional force?
____________________________________________________________________________
5. What is the effect of the rough surface to the motion and distance travelled by the book?
____________________________________________________________________________
6. What is the effect of the smooth surface to the motion and distance travelled by the book?
____________________________________________________________________________
7.How does friction affect motion of an object?

CODE : WK 2 / D4
Procedure:
1. Measure the mass of the different objects. Record it below.
2. Get two different balls. One in each hand at the same height.
Stand and stretch your arms in front of you at the shoulder height.
3. Drop the two balls at the exactly the same time and listen for them to hit the floor.
Record your result.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 three times to be sure that your observation are accurate.
5. Do the activity using a pencil and an eraser. Record your observations.
Conclusion:
How is gravitational force related to the mass of an object?

Moving on Different Surface
Materials: spring balance, block of wood with a string. Wooden board for your ramp, wax paper,
masking tape
Procedure:
1. Set the ramp with one side higher.
2. Cover one side of the ramp with wax paper. This is your smooth surface.
3. Cover the other side of the ramp with sand paper. This is your rough surface.
4. Set the block of wood at the lower end of the ramp in the smooth surface.
4. Hook the spring balance to the block of wood.
5. Pull the spring balance slowly. Take note of the reading on the string balance ust before the
block moves. Record your reading.
6. Repeat numbers 4-6 on the rough surface. Compare the data gathered.
Guide Question:
1. Which surface registered a greater force in pulling the block? Why?
______________________________________________________
Conclusion:
How does friction affect the motion of an object?

Lesson Concept
Friction occurs between the parts of the vehicle and between the road and the tires.
Wearing away of parts in engines sometimes cause road accidents.
