friction

A book on physics enables the magic school bus to take Ms. Fizzle's class to play baseball in a world without friction and to experience the forces needed to get home again.

An easy explanation of the nature of friction between various kinds of materials and surfaces.

Presents simple hands-on experiments that demonstrate the properties that make sliding easier or more difficult.

Text and photographs provide information for young readers about the scientific concepts of force, gravity, and friction.

Dorothy Ann loves her physics book; Ralphie loves baseball. Ms. Frizzle ingeniously combines the two in a page-hopping adventure through Dorothy Ann's book to a "Frictionless baseball game." The whole class learns about pushes and pulls in a remarkable day at a thoroughly unique ball game.

Explains what friction is, the rules of friction, how friction can be reduced and more.

An overview of forces and gravity, covering how these things shape and control everything in the universe as well as topics such as friction and magnetism.

An introduction to forces that discusses pushes, pulls, motion, direction, speed, and friction, and provides everyday examples and instructions for an activity.
