Investigate Forces When Playing With Toys

Forces are pushes and pulls. 

Let's have a reminder about forces:

How do you open a door?
Push or pull it!

What happens if you kick a football?
You push it!

How do you cut an apple in half?
You push the knife through it!

In this activity, you can use your understanding of forces to work out what's going on as a group of children test a selection of toys to see what happens when they push them or pull them.

Let's get started.
