Forces and Movement

What are Forces?

Working with our learning buddy, we placed a tennis ball on the table top.  Our challenge was to see how many ways we could make the ball move.  

We moved the ball by...

throwing it

dropping it

poking it

spinning it

blowing it

flicking it

hitting it

pushing it

pulling it

lifting up one end of the table

We discovered that these pushes and pulls are called forces.

We are looking forward to learning more about forces!
