Forces

What keeps us stuck on the ground? What makes magnets come together? What makes one team win during a game of tug of war? Forces!

Forces create our daily reality by keeping us on the ground, moving us in different directions, allowing us to stop, and keeping us stuck to the earth!

From gravity to magnetism, you can find forces everywhere! In Forces: Physical Science for Kids, kids ages 5 to 8 take a tour of several different forces that they interact with on a daily basis, including gravity, pushing, pulling, and friction. By combining children's natural curiosity with prompts for keen observations and simple STEM activities, Forces provides a useful and fun introduction for kids to the physical science that rules our world!
