Forces in Action

This week we have been investigating forces and how they can make objects move, change direction or just stop. In the playground, we explored how we can make different types of playground equipment move by using push, pull and twist forces! Then we came back to the classroom and recorded our findings by drawing what we did and labelling the forces we used with arrows. We also learnt about gravity; a very important force which brings everything back down to earth and stops us floating around in space, including the balls we throw and the space hoppers that help us to bounce really high!
