Date 19.11.2024 Unit/Topic 4.3_Friction
Grade Grade 5 Explain the concept of friction as a force that
resists movement when surfaces come into
Learning Objectives contact.
Subject Science Investigate and describe how the roughness of
different surfaces affects the amount of
friction between them.
Teacher Shuyeb Shaik Learning Skill Observation skill, critical thinking, comparative
analysis etc.
Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs):
1. What is friction?
a) A force that causes objects to speed up
b) A force that resists movement between surfaces
c) A force that pushes objects apart
2. What happens when the pushing force becomes greater than the force of friction?
a) The object moves at a constant speed
b) The object starts to move faster
c) The object slows down
3. Why are tires designed with ridged surfaces?
a) To create less friction
b) To improve grip and prevent slipping
c) To make the tire lighter
4. Which surface would create the most friction?
a) A smooth, polished metal surface
b) A rubber floor
c) A rough, textured floor
5. Which of the following statements about friction is correct?
a) Friction only acts on moving objects
b) Friction acts on both moving and resting objects
c) Friction never resists motion
Fill in the Blanks:
1. Friction is an ______________ force that occurs when surfaces come into contact.
2. Friction acts ______________ movement, causing objects to slow down or stop.
3. The ______________ the surface, the more friction it creates.
4. Friction can prevent objects from ______________ down a sloped surface.
5. A ______________ arrow represents a greater force in the diagrams.
True/False:
1. Friction occurs only between rough surfaces.
2. Friction always helps in preventing movement.
3. Friction can act on objects that are not moving.
4. Tires have ridged surfaces to increase friction and prevent slipping.
5. Friction causes objects to speed up if it acts in the direction of motion.
Answers:
1. b) A force that resists movement between surfaces
2. b) The object starts to move faster
3. b) To improve grip and prevent slipping
4. c) A rough, textured floor
5. b) Friction acts on both moving and resting objects
