Grade 6 Science

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you infer how friction and gravity affect the movements of different objects (S6FE-IIIa-c-1). The scope of this module permits it to be used in many different learning situations. The language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can be changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using.

The module is divided into two lessons, namely:

 Lesson 1 – Describe Friction

 Lesson 2 – How Friction Affects Movement of Objects

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. describe friction;

2. explain how friction affects the movement of different objects;

3. identify the factors affecting the motion of sliding or rolling objects;

4. explain how friction affects the motion of objects around you; and

5. demonstrate how the movement of moving objects is affected by friction.
