They found out that friction is produced when 2 surfaces rub together. Our Warm hands activity was a huge hit and it did not take children long to realise that when they rub their hands together quicker, more friction is produced. ### Rubbing hands friction

The children then investigated shoe friction on different surfaces using Newton meters to measure the friction in Newtons. ### Shoe friction
