Friction is an informational text that explores how friction is created and the ways in which we use friction in our everyday lives. The book concludes with an experiment investigating the amount of friction created by different surfaces.   

The book is divided in chapters and contains a table of contents, glossary, and index.  Sentences vary in length and structure.  Labeled and captioned photographs and illustrations support the text.

Content-specific terminology such as friction, traction, static friction, sliding friction, air resistance, and water resistance, is defined in context and in the glossary.
