May the FORCE Be With You
We’ve been learning about FORCES in Science class.
What is a force?
What are different types of forces?
A force is a Push or a Pull on an object. We see forces in our every day lives. A few weeks ago we combined drama class and Science and were asked to demonstrate in our Teams some of the types of forces we’ve been learning about.
- Friction
- Tension
- Gravity
- Compression
- Magnetic
- Muscular
Today, we were looking specifically at MAGNETIC force. We talked about where we use magnetic force in our lives…this is what we came up with:
We tested various objects in our classroom to see whether they were magnetic or not. We also learned about a really cool train in China that uses magnetic force in a unique way. Have a look at the video below to learn a little bit about the MagLev Train. MagLev means Magnetic Levitation.
Pretty cool, huh?
What type of FORCE do you think you use the most in your life?
