Forces in Action, by Miss Leigh

We have been exploring friction today.

We were challenged to lift a bottle using only rice, a pencil and friction. We had to figure it out and then explain why it happened.

We also had to use chopsticks to move Jelly from one bowl to another. However, there was a problem! Oil in one bowl made this a challenge. Can you think why?
