Introduction to Forces
The playground investigation
At lunchtime, Maia rolls a ball across the court. It gradually slows and stops. She pushes a swing, which moves forwards and backwards. Nearby, a friend pulls a wagon carrying sports gear. When Maia lets go of a dropped beanbag, it falls to the ground. On the grass, the beanbag stops more quickly than the ball did on the smooth court.
