Here are two kids playing a game of volleyball. The girl in the red shirt hit the ball over the net and the other opponent was trying to hit the ball in the air so it can go back over the net.

When the ball is hit, it goes over the net and with the gravitational force pulling down, the ball then goes down to the other team. The volleyball is also elastic because when it hits the ground, it shoots back up because the upward pull is greater than gravity.

WOOHOO!!
Gravity is the force that attracts a body toward the center of the Earth. When the volleyball is thrown in the air, it must come back down because of the force of gravity. So, when you are playing or even watching volleyball, the gravitational pull is occuring!

This water will make it easy to slide against the tarp without stopping
Here both the kids are setting up the slip and slide. The boy is splashing the water on the tarp which will help everyone slide against it without stopping along the way. The soap will help everyone pick up speed and go faster down the hill.
This soap will make everyone go faster and glide along the top of the tarp!
Sliding friction allows you to slide against an object but here you would not like as much friction because you want to slide fast. Thankfully, this friction is not very strong so, the slip and slide is working perfectly. Friction on the other hand is when one surface rubs against another surface.
Sliding friction is allowing me to slide down this tarp and go super fast!
Magnetic forces happen when electric charges are in motion. Water contains electric charges so when someone is sliding against water, the electric fields start moving. Therefore when you are on a slip and slide, there are magnetic forces going on right underneath you!
