Slide to the Side

Sid is trying out his new dance called, "The Sid Slide To The Side!" On his room's hard wood floor, he boogies to the left, jumps to the right, then tries to slide to the side. But in his new sneakers, he can't slide...he just squeaks to a stop! This leads Sid and his friends to observe and investigate how different materials and surfaces can create friction, causing something to slow down.
