Whatever we do, wherever we go, friction is present. Even when we are sitting down, standing or holding a bottle or any object, friction affects us. Friction occurs between the surfaces of two objects in contact, rubbing or sliding against one another. It is sometimes considered undesirable, yet it plays an important role in our daily activities. What’s In Study the pictures below. Identify whether the illustrations show a PUSH or a PULL to move the given objects or persons. Write your answers on your answer sheet. ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ Illustrated by Ryan Oliver Arellano and Orencio D. Estrera 4 CO_Q3_Science 6_ Module 1  “Force is a ___________ or a ___________.” Clue 1: Force is a or a. Illustrated by Ryan Oliver Arellano and Orencio D. Estrera Clue 2: Force is a p or a p. Write the complete sentence you formed on your answer sheet. What's New Friction is always present everywhere. It affects our daily activities. “What is friction? How does friction occur?” are just some common questions that you may want to ask. You will better understand and describe friction by doing the following activity. Activity: Roll and Stop In this activity, you will need any round object available at home like a ball, a tin can, or a tomato and the floor. Get the ball or any available round object and put it on the floor. Push the ball gently to allow it to roll on the floor, as shown in the figure below. Observe the movement of the ball. Figure 1. A boy pushes a ball to roll on the floor Illustrated by Orencio D. Estrera 5 CO_Q3_Science 6_ Module 1 Based on your observations, answer the following questions. 1. What happened to the ball after it was pushed? To answer this question, arrange the following events according to which happened first to last. Put the numbers 1 (first), 2, and 3 (last) on the blank before the sentence. ______The ball slows down. ______The ball stopped. ______The ball rolled on the floor. 2. What caused the stopping of the ball? F c t n 3. Which of the following statements is/are TRUE about friction? Choose from the given statements below. Write the letter/s of your choice on your answer sheet. A. Friction is produced by a single object. B. Friction is a force that opposes motion. C. Friction is an energy that moves the object. D. Friction acts opposite to the direction of an object’s motion. E. Friction exists between the surfaces of two objects rubbing against each other. What is It Friction is a force that opposes an object’s motion resulting in the slowing down or even stopping the moving object. In the activity, when the ball was pushed, it rolled on the floor and stopped after a few seconds. It is the friction between the ball and the floor that caused the stopping of the ball. But how does friction occur? While the ball is rolling on the floor, the surface of the rolling ball rubs against the surface of the floor. Friction always acts opposite the direction of an object’s motion. The floor exerts a frictional force opposite the ball’s motion as shown in the figure below. Figure 2. Frictional force acting on a rolling ball. Illustrated by Orencio D. Estrera 6 CO_Q3_Science 6_ Module 1  Friction does not only occur on the surfaces of solid objects rubbing against one another, but it also occurs when air particles rub against objects falling down, thrown upward and flying airplanes and kites. The force that opposes the movement of objects in air is called air friction or air resistance. You will learn more about it in the next lesson. What’s More Directions: Read the following items carefully and tell whether the statements are True or False. On your answer sheet, write True if the statement is correct and False if the statement is incorrect. ________1. Friction acts in a direction the same as the direction of the object’s motion. ________2. Friction occurs when the surfaces of the two objects rub against each other. ________3. Friction causes moving objects to stop. ________4. Friction is produced by a single object. ________5. Friction opposes motion of objects.

Friction acts in a direction opposite the direction of an object’s motion What's New Activity 1. Rolling and Sliding In this activity, you will observe how friction affects the movement of objects. You will also identify the factors affecting it. You will need a ball and a box with almost the same mass as the ball. 12 CO_Q3_Science 6_ Module 1 Instruction: 1. Perform this activity on a floor or on a long table. 2. Put a mark on the floor. Place the ball on the mark. 3. Push the ball gently, as shown in Figure 1 below. Mark the point where the ball stopped. Repeat the steps two more times. 4. Replace the ball with a small box. Place it on the same mark where the ball was initially placed. 5. Apply the same amount of push to the box as was given to the ball, as shown in Figure 2. Put a mark on the point where the small box stopped. Repeat the steps two more times. Illustrated by Ryan Oliver Arellano and Orencio D. Estrera Answer the following questions by choosing between the ball and the box. Write your answers on your answer sheet. Questions Write BALL or BOX 1. Which object has the longer distance traveled? 2. Which object has bigger surface area in contact with the floor? 3. Which object was acted on by greater friction? Based on the activity, complete the following statements by choosing the word that best completes the following sentences. Write the words you have chosen on your answer sheet. 1. Why does the ball and the box travel at different distances? The ball and the box travelled different distances because of the difference in their (shape/surface area, push applied). 2. How does friction affect the movement of objects with big or small surface areas? An object with a bigger surface area, experiences a(greater, lesser) friction while an object with a smaller surface area has a(greater, lesser) friction. 13 CO_Q3_Science 6_ Module 1 3. How does friction affect the movement of objects such as the ball and the box? Friction makes moving objects (slowdown, get faster). It can also (stop, move) moving objects. 4. In this activity, what is the factor affecting friction? (shape/surface area, distance travelled) Activity 2. Falling Objects Does air affect the movement of falling objects? In this activity, you will be able to observe how air affects the movement of falling objects. You will need 2 identical sheets of paper. Instruction: 1. Perform the activity in your room. 2. Prepare two sheets of identical papers. Crumple one of the papers. 3. Raise the two pieces of paper to the same height, as shown in the figure below. 4. Drop the papers at the same time. Observe which object reached the floor first. This will be your first trial. Repeat dropping the papers two more times and observe. These will be your second and third trials.. Figure 3. Raising two pieces of paper, one crumpled, to the same height Illustrated by Ryan Oliver Arellano Fill in Table1 by writing the word “First” or “Last” according to the order the paper fell on the ground per trial. Table 1 Observation (Write First or Last) Object Trial 1 Trial 2 Trial 3 Crumpled Paper Plain Paper 14 CO_Q3_Science 6_ Module 1 Answer the questions below. Write your answers on your answer sheet. 1. Based on your answer in Table 1, between the crumpled paper and the uncrumpled one, which object reached the floor first? A. crumpled paper B. plain paper 2. Does air affect the falling of the two papers? Why? A. Yes, the air opposes the movement of the two papers. B. No, the air does not oppose the movement of the two papers. 3. Which object experienced the greater opposing force of the air? Why? A. The crumpled paper because it has a small surface area in contact with the air. B. The plain paper because of its wide or big surface area in contact with the air. 4. How does air friction affect the movement of falling objects? Choose the correct answer inside the parenthesis. Air friction (slows down, increases) the motion of falling objects. What is It In the two activities that you have conducted, you have observed that friction affects the movement of the ball, box, and falling pieces of paper. You were also able to identify the factors affecting it. In Activity 1, the ball and the box covered different distances. The ball traveled longer distance than the box. It is because of their different shapes or surface area in contact with the floor. The surface area of the ball in contact with the floor is smaller, while the box has a bigger or greater surface area. Objects with bigger surface areas, like a box, are easier to stop; thus, it travels a shorter distance because greater friction acts on it. Objects with smaller surface areas, like a ball, are harder to stop; thus, it travels a longer distance because lesser friction acts on it. Therefore, surface area of contact affects friction. The bigger or greater the surface area of objects in contact with the floor, the greater the friction. The smaller surface area of objects in contact with the floor, the lesser the friction. 15 CO_Q3_Science 6_ Module 1  In Activity 2, air resists the movement of the falling pieces of paper. This air resistance is also known as air friction or air resistance introduced in lesson 1. It acts opposite the direction of motion of falling objects as shown in the figure below Figure 4. Air friction acting on the crumpled and plain paper Illustrated by Ryan Oliver Arellano The bigger or greater the surface area of falling objects, the greater the air friction. The smaller the surface area of falling objects, the lesser the air friction. What’s More Activity 3. Rough and Smooth Friction also varies on the type of surfaces of the two objects rubbing against each other. To observe how objects’ different textures of surfaces affect friction, do the activity below. You will need any round object like a ball, a marble, or a tomato and a piece of cloth (like towel). Instruction: 1. Perform this activity on a long table or the floor. 2. Set up all the materials, as shown in Figure 5 below. 3. Cover one side of the table with a cloth (like towel). The covered portion will represent rough surface and the uncovered portion, a smooth surface. 4. Place the ball at the starting line of the smooth surface. 5. Push the ball gently. Mark the point where the ball stopped. Repeat two more times. 6. Do the same for the rough surface this time. Repeat two more times. 16 CO_Q3_Science 6_ Module 1  Figure 5.
