Why is Friction so important?

Today in our Science lesson we developed our knowledge on the importance of friction. We found out the difference between air resistance and water resistance. The children had a visual of friction by using Mr Wynn’s son’s hot wheels to see the push force and how the friction can either make it go too fast or too slow. The children had different stations of the difference between the push force and friction.
Craig said that if you have a strong push force and good friction it will slow the car down.
We had a brilliant lesson!
