Check understanding
- Define air resistance, water resistance, and friction as forces that oppose motion
- Give everyday examples of each force and explain how they slow things down
- Describe how these forces depend on factors like speed, surface area, or surface texture
“Can your child explain why a parachute slows you down, why swimming is harder than walking, and why bike brakes use rubber pads?”
