Companion summary

Have you ever watched a ball zoom across the floor while a book just slides flat? Wheels on your bike and buggy use rolling to help things move easily and smoothly. A round ball rolls because it spins on its curved edge, but a flat book can only slide. When you finish, try pushing a pencil and a rubber and see which one rolls!

Look and Think!

Put a ball on the floor. Give it a little push. Watch what it does! Now put a book on the floor. Give it a little push. What happens?

💭 Think about this

Can you push something at home? What does it do?
