Check understanding
- Observe and compare how the same object moves on at least three different surfaces
- Describe that rough surfaces slow objects down more than smooth surfaces
- Use the word 'friction' to explain why movement differs on different surfaces
“Can your child explain why a toy car rolls further on a smooth wooden floor than on carpet?”
