[Free Registration/Login Required] Students will learn what balance, force, push and pull are. There are video clips and interactive practice of these vocabulary words and concepts.

In this activity, students will learn about push and pull forces that make things move. They will also practice using position words to describe location. To learn about forces, they will move objects, observe the movement of objects and...

This super simple activity for kindergarten-age students requires no materials and can be done inside or outside, or both and explores forces and motion.

In this guided inquiry activity, students will use 2 marbles of different size and a box to investigate what makes the marbles move and what will cause the marbles to change speed and direction.

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.

Learn how pushes and pulls relate to theconcept of force and motion.

[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart describes what motion is and what causes an object to move. Streamline videos, activities, and assessment are included.

Students are asked to create a bungee jump that will protect a hard-boiled egg from breaking. A force sensor is needed to measure the push/pull forces on the egg. Data is inserted into force-time graphs. After completing three...
