Parachutes, hovercrafts, and ice-skating

When objects are in physical contact with one another and rub together there is a molecular force that acts on them that limits their ability to move. That resistance in motion is called friction. Learn how friction affects us every day. STEM Challenge: make a hovercraft from a compact disc.
