Instructions
Play through this interactive game to learn about Forces and Motion. Suitable for Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5.
Main Concepts
Net force is the sum of all the forces acting on an object.
A force is a push or pull on an object.(ES)
Each force acts on one particular object.
A force has both a strength and a direction.
When the net force on an object is zero, the forces are balanced.
When the net force on an object is not zero, the forces are unbalanced.
Unbalanced forces cause changes to the object’s speed or direction of motion.
Speed is the rate at which an object changes its position.
An object at rest typically has multiple forces acting on it, but they add to give zero net force on the object.
Motion is the change in position of an object.
Gravity is a force that pulls all objects on Earth down towards Earth’s surface.
