Force
Force is a push or pull that can make things move, stop, or change direction. It is a fundamental concept in science and is all around us in our everyday lives.
Types of Forces
There are different types of forces:
- Pushing Force: When you push something, you apply a pushing force.
- Pulling Force: When you pull something, you apply a pulling force.
- Gravity: Gravity is a force that pulls objects towards the Earth.
- Friction: Friction is a force that resists the motion of an object when it rubs against another object.
Examples of Forces in Everyday Life
Here are some examples of forces in everyday life:
- Pushing a swing to make it move
- Pulling a wagon to move it forward
- Gravity pulling a ball back to the ground when it is thrown up
- Friction between your shoes and the floor when you walk
Study Guide
To understand the concept of force, you can do the following activities:
- Observe different forces in action around you, such as pushing a door, pulling a toy, or feeling the force of gravity when dropping an object.
- Experiment with different surfaces to understand friction by trying to slide objects on different materials like carpet, wood, and plastic.
- Play games that involve pushing and pulling objects, such as tug-of-war or rolling a ball back and forth.
Understanding force is essential for understanding how things move and interact with each other. By observing and experiencing different forces, you can develop a better understanding of this important scientific concept.

From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes
Design a solution to a human problem by using materials to imitate how plants and/or animals use their external parts to help them survive, grow, and meet their needs (e.g., outerwear imitating animal furs for insulation, gear mimicking tree bark or shells for protection).
