BACK TO WORKSHEETS
Forces make objects move.
Some forces need a contact between two objects, like your bike wheel on the ground as you cycle, or your hand on a spoon as you stir a saucepan of food.
Others work without any direct contact with the object they act on, like magnetism and gravity. They can exert a force over a distance without touching anything.
Pushing and pulling are examples of contact forces.
Magnetism and gravity are examples of non-contact forces.
In this activity, you'll be finding out about the forces behind how magnets behave - now let's call that attractive!
