In Science we explore the question 'Why do our hands warm up when we rub them together?' In order to answer this question we carried out a range of activities, exploring friction. We used balloons to create friction, we watched videos, we identified how forces and friction is used in sports and finally we investigated the difference in rubbing our hands when we used rubber gloves. We discovered that friction is created when two surfaces rub together.
