Magic of Physics
Forces Lab
Here's a force to be reckoned with in the physics classroom! Scholars discover the movements associated with tension, compression, and other common forces through a hands-on simulation. Pupils pull, push, and twist their way through each...
EZ Task
Forces
Investigate force, acceleration, Newtons, and vectors with this worksheet packet that starts with an overview fact sheet for reference. Learners label images as either push or pull forces, indicating if the force causes a change in...
K5 Learning
Force
Follow-up a physical science lesson with a reading passage that connects sports to force. Readers respond to six short answer questions that requires them to use the text as a basis for the answers.
Concord Consortium
Seeing Intermolecular Attractions
Ahh, the rules of attraction...intermolecular attraction! Introduce your chemistry crew to the other forces that influence the behavior of atoms and molecules alike with a simple interactive. Pupils push and pull polar and non-polar...
Mr. E. Science
Forces
May the mass times acceleration be with you. The presentation covers forces, Newton's three Laws of Motion, momentum, and vectors.
Concord Consortium
Opposites Attract
Whether they pull together or push away from one another, magnets are sure-fire pupil pleasers! Take their study of magnetism to a new level with a fun interactive. Individuals control the polarity of two spheres to observe attractive or...

E Learning for Kids: Science: Greece: What Are Pushes and Pulls?
Nikos is cleaning up and organizing in his family's theater. He finds out that different movements need different motions; sometimes a push, and sometimes a pull. Help him figure out which force to use.

Texas Gateway: What Is Force?
You have probably heard the word "force" before in conversations. Here are a few examples: "the rocket had a lot of force at blast off" or "the force of the storm blew the roof off the building." What is force? Force is defined as a push...
University of Colorado
University of Colorado: Ph Et Interactive Simulations: Forces and Motion: Basics
See how forces affect various items that are pushed or pulled.
E-learning for Kids
E Learning for Kids: Science: Egypt: What Can Forces Do?
A learning module reviewing how much force is needed to push or pull objects. Also learn about the force of gravity.
University of Colorado
University of Colorado: Ph Et Interactive Simulations: Forces and Motion: Basics
Explore the forces at work when pulling against a cart, and pushing a refrigerator, crate, or person. Create an applied force and see how it makes objects move. Change friction and see how it affects the motion of objects.
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Spring and Mass Model
An interactive tool where students can explore how a spring behaves, and how changing the elasticity, mass, push/pull force, and friction affect its motion or period. As the spring moves, its motion is shown on a distance-time graph.

Serc: How and Where Things Move
Students will understand that objects move in many ways, and it takes a forces (pushing or pulling) to move them.
CK-12 Foundation
Ck 12: Physical Science: Combining Forces
[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Featurea the definition of combining forces: Pulling down and pushing up, forces acting in opposite directions, forces acting in the same direction.
