FORCES AT WORK What happens when you drop something It falls to the ground right Think about some other actions Stretching a rubber band Pushing magnets together Riding your bike These are all examples of forces at work A force is a push or pull that changes something's motion or energy Forces work in many different ways Some forces are at work all the time Others need certain conditions to work TENSION DRAG
TYPES OF FORCES There are many types of forces Gravity is a force that pulls objects toward Earth It causes things to fall when dropped Magnetism is another force Certain metals are magnetic This means they attract other magnets Tension and drag are also forces You feel drag when you ride your bike on a windy day And you can feel tension in the snap of a stretched rubber band
