Friction is an engaging and enjoyable concept for young learners to explore. Our EY3 students learned what friction is and how it works on di\ufb00erent surfaces through experiential, hands-on activities. They observed how friction changes by rolling various objects across di\ufb00erent surfaces.<\/p>\n

They also discovered that when rice is packed tightly around a pencil inside a bottle, the increased friction helps the pencil stay \ufb01rmly in place. In another activity, they explored how interleaving the pages of two books increases the contact area, making it very di\ufb03cult to pull the books apart.<\/p>\n

Through these experiments, learners understood that greater surface contact results in increased friction. The children thoroughly enjoyed learning about friction through meaningful, hands-on experiences.<\/p>\n
