 C. Presenting
Examples/Instances of the
lesson

What would life be without

Introduction friction? Life would be
impossible without friction.
We use friction in most of
our activities. You would be
able to walk without slipping
and falling with the help of
friction.
Friction affects different
objects, too.
Without friction, you would
not be able to write because
your pencil would slip off the
surface of the paper you are
writing on.
  How does friction
affect us our daily
living?
Question :
 Do you think
friction has to do
something with our
life?
Then, Let’s find
out!
 Friction is a force
What is that opposes
Frictional
motion between
Force?
two surfaces
sticking or
touching together.
Friction has Desirable
and undesirable effects
Desirable Effects of
Friction
1. Friction allows us to grip
things. You would be able to
pick up anything with friction.
You can hold and squeeze a ball
because of friction.
 Desirable Effects of
Friction
2. Friction helps people convert one form of motion
into another. Friction allows people to walk. You
move forward because there is friction between the
surface of your shoes and the ground. Without
friction, you will slip or fall and will not be able to
stand up. A Cyclist uses friction to move forward.
The friction between his/ her shoes and the pedals
and between the chain and gears is needed to move
the bike.
Desirable Effects of
Friction
3. Friction
converts some
energy into heat.
Friction is needed
to produce fire.
When you light a
matchstick, friction is
needed to change
chemical energy into in
the matchbox and
matchstick into light
energy. Without matches,
you can also produce fire
by rubbing two stones or
sticks together.
Undesirable Effects of
Friction
1. Friction makes objects
difficult to move
continuously. There is
friction between the
bottom or feet of
furniture and the floor.
When moving furniture,
friction is undesirable.
 Undesirable Effects of
Friction

2. Friction converts some

energy into heat, noise, and
causes wear and tear on
materials.
• When a cyclist pedals
on a bicycle, the
energy exerted by the
cyclist is converted
into noise and heat.
• Too much heat can
cause the wear and
tear of the bicycle
parts and reduce the
efficiency of the
bicycle.
Excess frictional heat
could damage the
machine and the
breaking system.
This will result in
periodic maintenance
and replacement of
some parts of the
engines.
Four Types of Friction
1

Static
Friction

The friction that

acts on objects
that are not
moving.
Because of static friction, you must
use extra force to start the motion of
stationary objects.
For example, think about what
happens when you try to push a
heavy box across a floor.
If you push on the box with a force
less than the force of static friction
between the box and the floor, the
box will not move.
To make the box move, you must
exert a force greater than the force
of static friction.
2
Sliding friction occurs
Sliding when two solid surfaces
Friction slide over each other.
 Ballet dancers
Example: apply a sticky
powder to the
soles of their
ballet slippers
so they won’t
slip on the
dance floor.
Example: You can
spread sand
on an icy
path to
improve your
footing.
 And when you stop a
Examples: bicycle with hand
brakes, rubber pads
slide against the tire
surfaces, causing the
wheels to slow and
eventually stop.
On the other hand,
sliding friction is a
problem if you fall off
your bike and skin
your knee!
3
When an object
Rolling rolls across a
Friction surface, rolling
friction occurs.
3 Rolling friction is
easier to overcome
than sliding friction
Rolling for similar materials.
This type of friction is
Friction important to engineers
who design certain
products.
 skates,
skateboards, and
Examples bicycles need
wheels that move
freely.
• When a round object rolls across a flat
floor, both the object and the floor are bent
slightly out of shape.
• This change in shape at the point of
rolling contact is the cause of rolling friction, the
friction force that acts on rolling objects.
• The force of rolling friction is about 100
to 1000 times less than the force of static or
sliding friction.
• So engineers use ball bearings to
reduce the friction between the
wheels and the rest of the product.
• These ball bearings are small, smooth
steel balls that reduce friction by
rolling between moving parts.
 Ball Bearings
are a type of
rolling-element
bearing that uses
balls to maintain
the separation
between the
moving parts of
the bearing.
ball bearings
4 Fluids, such as water, oil, or
air, are materials that flow
easily.
Fluid Fluid friction occurs when a
solid object moves through a
Friction fluid.
Like rolling friction, fluid
friction is easier to overcome
than sliding friction.
This is why the parts of
machines that must slide over
each other are often bathed in
oil or lubricants.
In this way, the solid parts move
through the fluid instead of
sliding against each other.
When you ride a bike, fluid
friction occurs between you and
the air.
Cyclists often wear streamlined
helmets and specially designed
clothing to reduce fluid friction.
 It is a
substance,
such as oil or
grease, used
for
minimizing
friction,
especially in
an engine or
Oil lubricant component.

 H. Making Generalizations
and abstractions about the
lesson

What have you

learned!
Friction is a force that opposes
motion between two surfaces
sticking or touching together.
Friction can be rolling,
sliding, fluid and
static.
 Rolling friction
is the frictional force associated with
rotational movement of a wheel or
other circular objects along a surface.
 Sliding friction
also called dry friction, occurs when
two objects are rubbing against each
other or sliding against each other.
 Fluid
is the friction between a solid object as
it moves through a liquid or a gas.
 Static friction
occurs in stationary objects. It is a
kind of friction that prevents an object
from moving against a surface.
Friction is useful. It allows us to grip
things and keep things stable.
However, it can cause objects to wear
and tear.
Friction brings desirable and
undesirable effects to objects
and people.
Friction could be reduced by applying
lubricant to surfaces, reducing and
minimizing contact between surfaces,
and using aerodynamic shapes.

True or False
5. In your own words,
what is friction?
 J. Additional Activities for
Application and remediation

Road Advertisement:

Friction occurs between the parts of the vehicle

and between the road and the tires. Wearing
away of parts in engines sometimes causes road
accidents. Produce an advertisement to show road
safety.

up relationship. Friction in
relationship means
disagreement, quarrels, or
misunderstand.
