Forces - Friction and Gravity
Why would a rolling or bouncing ball come to a stop?

Forces - Friction and Gravity

This quiz addresses the requirements of the National Curriculum KS1 Science for children aged 5 and 6 in years 1 and 2. Specifically this quiz is aimed at the section dealing with the forces of friction and gravity.

Do you know how forces affect speed and going faster? What about forces slowing things down and stopping them? We stop cars and bikes by using friction. When you throw a ball up into the air, what happens? Why does it not just keep going up for ever? Because of gravity! Let’s find out a bit more about how things move, and how they stop through friction and gravity.

1 .

The ball keeps going higher and higher
The ball goes up and then falls back down again
The ball is blown away by the wind
The ball shoots off into space

Jack is sat in a wooden box. His friend tries to push Jack across the ground in the box. But it is very hard work. The box hardly moves. Why is it so hard to make the box move?
Because the ground is rough
Because the ground is smooth
Because the box has brakes
Because the box has wheels
The ground is rough. There is a lot of friction. The friction stops the box moving
5 .

Only trains
Only cars
