Dear Teachers and Learners, the writers humbly welcome you all to this Science 6
Third Quarter Self-Learning Module. This material guides you to learn on describing what is
Friction or Frictional Force and how it works on different surfaces such as in smooth or rough
surface. In addition to, Rolling and Sliding Frictions will also be discussed in this module. It is
hoped that through this material, Frictional Force would be given emphasis as to valuing its
beneficial and useful effects of friction for oneself and for others in performing our daily tasks
and activities.
As stewards of learning, we fervently hope that this simple material would inspire you
to learn to become productive individual and can make you enjoy while learning from this at
home. Remember, learning by doing this challenge with a heart, is what matters most.
So, here are some few reminders for you to follow in using this learning module:

Additional Activities
Directions: Perform a simple “Do It Yourself” activity at home. Get a ball or a toy car.
Let it move forth and back over a smooth table . Observe how it moves. Then, using
the same ball or toy car let it moves on something rough surface like a
sandy or rocky ground. Observe again the movement of the object. Record your
observations in your Activity Notebook . Remember to OBSERVE SAFETY

no tires? Will it move easily and take us anywhere we want to play? When an object rolls over a
surface, rolling friction is produced.

What’s In
Remember Me?
In the previous lesson, you were able to learn that friction is a force that opposes motion
between two surfaces by sticking or touching together. You were also able to explore how it works
on a rough or smooth surface.

What Is It
Question:
1. Which set-up is easier to move, the pile of notebooks/books without ball pens/ pencils or the
pile of notebooks/books with ball pens/ pencils?
2. How do the ballpens/ pencils help in making the pile of notebooks/books move easier?
When an object rolls over a solid surface, rolling friction is produced. Rolling Friction is
the friction that acts on objects when they are rolling over a surface. In activity 2.1, the pile
of notebooks/books with ball pens/pencils under it moves easily rather than without the ball
pens/pencils. Why? It is because of the cylindrical/spherical shape of the ballpen/pencil that at
some point had contact on the surface of the table or floor, making it easier to move.
Rolling of ball or wheel on the ground are some examples of rolling friction. Another
common example of rolling friction is the movement of wheel on a motorcycle. The weight of the
driver and the motorcycle presses the tires of the wheel against the ground. This downward force
creates increased friction between the tires and the road giving tire friction. If it were notfor the
friction, the tires could not push on the road surface to drive the motor forward. Can you think of
other examples of objects that when rolled over a surface rolling friction is produced?

Friction in Basketball
Watching a basketball game is really fun. You can see how intense the action is inside
the court, but have you imagined how friction occurs in this setting?

Picture Analysis:
Why do you think basketball players wear shoes with rubber soles instead of leather shoes?
What do you think will happen if they will wear leather shoes?
What Is It
When you push an object like a book on the floor or table, sliding friction occurs. Sliding
friction occurs between two surfaces that come in contact with each other. Sliding friction acts in
a direction opposite the direction of motion.
In the case of a book, the book moves forward while sliding friction is in the opposite direction.
Sliding friction slows down the movement of the book or object that is moving. This sliding friction
prevents the object to move forward as fast as it would. When sliding friction is acting on an object,
other forces must be present to keep the object moving. It could be a push or force of gravity
when the object moves in slope. Sliding Friction occurs when two objects rub against each
other or slide against each other. It is caused by molecular adhesion between surfaces.
