Force and Motion
By Sharon Fabian 		  
1     Force and motion describe everyday things that are happening all the time. Hundreds of times every day, you use force and motion. Did you just pick up a pencil? -- force and motion. Did you turn a page? -- force and motion. Raise your hand? Kick the desk in front of you? Pack your backpack? All of these are examples of force and motion.
 
2     Out on the playground you can see even bigger and better examples of force and motion. Climbing, jumping, running, chasing, throwing, and sliding all use force and motion.
