A science video includes a good amount of information on the force of friction and related topics. As slides come up on the screen, a narrator explains the images and definitions. While informational, the narration is very monotone.

You might not be able to pull a rabbit out of a hat, but you could certainly pull a tablecloth out from under a place setting! Display inertia and Newton's first law of motion for your future physicists or magicians by performing this...

Amaze your class with this demonstration of gravity and friction. A ring on a string is able to catch a spool of tape as it falls. This is a perfect introduction for a class discussion on these topics, or you could have kids them try it...

Students move past the misconception that friction inhibits our ability to do things by watching videos and participating in corresponding activities. Activities which range in difficulty include calculating the coefficient of friction.

The air you exhale can power a puff mobile. Watch as the ZOOM cast races their air-powered designs to see which design features are the most successful. [3:24]

In this ZOOM video segment, cast members make bottle rocket cars using lemon juice and baking soda, and experiment with different ways of launching the cars. [4:46]

Video workshop explores how heat is generated and harvested to do useful mechanical work. Video also describes efficiency of an engine, expansion and compression of gases, and friction's relationship to heat. [56:54]

In this video segment adapted from ZOOM, cast members make their own hovercraft and demonstrate how the air leaking out of a balloon can make a plastic plate hover above a table. Experiment instructions are also available in a PDF...

Narrated animation that visually explains how a dogsled uses friction to slow it or stop it. (30 secs) Uses Quicktime.

A video and quiz on how force must overcome inertia in order to produce motion.

This lesson explains the difference between static and kinetic friction. It is 1 of 2 in the series titled "Static & Kinetic Friction." [6:58]

Success in auto racing depends on the grip of a car's tires. Grip is the frictional force that holds the tires on the track. Aerodynamic features of a car also improve a car's grip. [5:02]

Friction always creates heat. Brakes and tires depend on friction to work, while the opposite is true of an engine. Engine builders use oil and high-tech coatings to get more power from an engine. [5:25]

Join these kids as they investigate ramps by making a homemade hill to see what slides or rolls down it. [1:27]

In today's episode of Crash Course Physics, Dr. Shini Somara tells us about static and kinetic friction; how they work and how they're different. [10:58]

What would happen to a slowly moving frozen sock on a frictionless planet?

Find out why static friction is harder to overcome than kinetic friction. [7:21]

Video lesson serves as a primer on identifying balanced and unbalanced forces. [8:11]

A block of wood is kept stationary by the force of friction. (A correction to this video is made in the next video.) [8:41]

This video gives an example of a conservation of energy problem where all of the energy is not conserved. Understand how friction causes loss of energy. [10:04]

A video lesson investigating how frictional forces are involved in almost all of your everyday activities. Understand that the resistance you feel when sliding objects past each other or moving objects through water and air is friction....

This tutorial provides a mathematical interpretation of kinetic friction as compared with a normal force. [4:27]

This video presentation explains what sliding friction is, and how it is experienced. [5:32]

A video lesson explaining how tension forces can be used to determine the force of friction acting on an object. [6:33]
