Show Year 4 science pupils a practical example of how friction works, as a driving instructor drives a car around a test track in wet conditions, in this live-action video.
He describes how the friction of the rubber tyres on the road creates grip, which helps the car to stay on the road. Key Stage 2 pupils can also learn why wet weather can be disruptive.
The video ends with a question designed to begin a primary classroom discussion on friction.
