What are Forces?

Description

This learning resource focuses on the concept of forces in motion, specifically exploring how pushes and pulls affect the movement of objects. Students will learn to define a force as either a push or a pull, and will identify balanced and unbalanced forces in everyday scenarios. Key vocabulary such as 'Net Force', 'Balanced Forces', and 'Unbalanced Forces' is introduced to facilitate comprehension. The resource includes activities for students to classify different types of forces in various contexts, analyze the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces, and apply Newton's First Law to predict motion changes. Practical examples and scenarios help in illustrating these concepts, fostering a deeper understanding of how forces impact the motion of objects.
