Help your students build real understanding of introducing friction as a force through ninety questions that move from basic recognition to genuine reasoning about how science works.

Sample questions include "What is the role of friction in a car's ability to stop?", "When you rub your hands together, what force are you using?", and "Why is it easier to slide a box across ice than across concrete?"
