Forces - They May Be Invisible But They Are There!

At it's simplest level, forces are all around us.  Any time an object changes speed or direction, it is because a force has been applied. In it's mys basic form, it involves two or more objects that are being pushed or pulled. Objects often have more than one force acting on it at the same time, with varying magnitudes and directions.

Let's take a closer look! 

Today we will be learning about the many different types of forces we encounter on a daily basis. By learning about these different forces, we will have a better understand of what structures need to withstand in order to do their job! This will also help you when it's your turn to build your bridges.

Like we did while watching the Structures video, we will be making "sketchnotes" but in a more structured way - some of the text has been filled in for you. There will also be sections where you will create 3D sketches to illustrate the types of forces described. You will also list examples of where you might find such forces in action.  Take your time to ensure you understand each type of force and collaborate with classmates to help you out!
