Exploring Forces in Action
Clues from the zoo
A force is a push or a pull. Forces can start, stop, speed up, slow down or change the direction of movement. Gravity pulls objects towards Earth. Friction acts between surfaces and resists their movement. A magnet can attract some metals, such as iron, without touching them. At the zoo, Isla pushes a trolley, Tui holds a gate open, and Ari watches a ball roll down a ramp. The trolley rolls more easily on a smooth path than on a rough mat.
