Lesson Plan: The Power of Forces
Estimated time: 30 minutes
Forces can push, pull or twist objects, making them change their motion or shape. Forces also act in particular directions. Equal forces acting in opposite directions in the same line cancel each other and are described as being in balance. The movement of objects is changed if the forces acting on them are not in balance. The world is full of balanced and unbalanced forces. Let’s try to find examples of each during this fun activity.
