Force

Today we started to find out information so we can create the fastest possible CO2 car. We discussed forces. First Mrs Larsen asked us, What is Force? Here is what we thought.

It moves things
Power
Acceleration
Pushes things
Makes things move
Pushing things in certain directions
We can control it

Next she showed us lots of objects like, a beach ball, plastic cup, tennis ball, counters, soft toy, book etc. She asked us to share all the different ways these objects can moved.

hitting
kicking
dragging
blowing
flicking
lifting
rolling
spinning

When the realised these are all types of force.

Did you know there are 2 main types of force. Push and Pull.

All the different types of force we stated earlier are all forms of push or pull.

Next we searched magazines for examples of force. After we collect more we will share our findings.
