Sid is trying out his new dance on his hardwood floors when he discovers that friction prevents him from sliding. When he plays ball, he quickly learns that if a ball doesn't have enough elasticity, it won't bounce. This calls for some investigating; after pretending to be 'Super Sid' by kicking the ball with all his might, Sid and his friends take a trip to the Science Center to investigate how using lots of force makes things move far and fast....
