Friction Worksheet - Draw

An opposing-force definition leads directly into two illustrated applications. A familiar everyday example shows how an object moving across a surface encounters that opposing force. Two large response areas then ask learners to find their own situations, draw what happens, and add a written explanation. The paired visual and verbal responses help students connect the scientific definition to motion they can observe around them.
