What is the definition of a push?
Any action that moves an object away from you.

What is the definition of pull?

An action that moves an object closer to you.

Define friction
When two objects rub against one another.  This rubbing causes an object to not slip as much.

What is gravity?
A force that pulls you toward an object.

Give an example of friction
Going down a slide, walking on carpet, rubbing your hands together, etc.
200
Do all objects have gravity?

How does the Earth pull you?
The Earth has gravity which pulls all objects down to the Earth's center.
500
Can friction keep gravity from pulling you down?  Explain why or why not.
Yes friction can keep you from falling down if you are wearing materials that rub against other materials to keep you up.
