Forces and Motion

 Forces and Motion.... create a commotion!

I was inspired by Oswald's excellent explanation about how a pūrerehua works, and I thought we could learn about forces so we can explain something too. How does a swing work? How can you make a paper plane fly better? Why does a soccer ball eventually stop moving after you kick it?

Here are some resources for you to read and learn more about forces and motion.

Newton's 3 Laws of Motion

After reading and watching, you will be able to:

Understand forces vocabulary (like push, pull, gravity, friction).

Explain how an object (something) moves, or stops moving.

Know what the 3 forces of motion are.
