Have you ever rubbed your hands together when they get cold? Why do we do that? We do that for friction．Friction happens when two things that aren't very smooth rub together to make heat energy.The faster you rub two things together，the more friction (and heat) you can make. Let's discover friction!

WHAT YOU'LL NEED：

●A piece of soap ●Water ●Your hands

WHAT TO DO：

1.Make sure your hands are dry.

2.Rub your hands together until you feel the heat of your hands.

3.Now，use a piece of soap and water to get your hands very slippery (滑的)．

4.Try to make friction happen while your hands are slippery.

5.Please write down what has happened.

LET'S TALK!
