Forces in Nature

#ngscience #force #science
A force is a push or a pull.
A push is when you press something away from you.
A pull is when you tug something closer to you.
You use a push when you throw, hit or kick a ball.
You use a push when you jump in the air.

What are some other ways we use pushes? You use a pull when you drag a sled, climb a rope or rake some leaves.

Every day you use forces to make things move in different ways.

You use forces when you:
• brush your teeth
• get dressed
• open or close a door
• write, draw or paint
• pick up your schoolbag
• exercise and play

Forces make things move in different ways.

When you bowl a bowling ball, it moves in a straight line. On a swing, you move back and forth. On a see-saw, you move round and round.

A carousel moves round and round.

Things can move slow or fast. You move slowly when you walk. You move faster when
you run.

Forces in nature include moving water and wind. Forces in nature can make things move in different ways.
