By Nia, age 10
When objects have interaction a force is applied
You can measure it, can’t see it, even if you tried
Push, pull, twist are the three main types of motion
That’s ‘cos they change the speed, shape or direction
The measurement we use for forces is N
To commemorate the man who discovered them
Isaac Newton and his three laws of motion
F=M•A force mass acceleration
One of the common forces is friction
Friction is a force that opposes motion
Air-resistance of a parachute, tyres on a car,
Friction is the force that slows down where you are
The measurement we use for forces is N
To commemorate the man who discovered them
Isaac Newton and his three laws of motion
F=M•A force mass acceleration
Gravity pulls things to the Earth’s centre
Keeping us grounded like Earth’s defender
On the moon, gravity is less
You could have a lot of fun with your bounciness
