Balanced and Unbalanced Forces

We have been learning about balanced and unbalanced forces in science. Click on the link below to watch a video to learn more about this topic. Some questions to think about are:

  • What is a force?
  • Is a student sitting on a chair an example of a balanced force or an unbalanced force?
  • If you drop a ball is at rest or in motion?
  • What needs to happen in a game of tug of war for the forces to be balanced?

After this activity, you will have some reading materials and questions to think about. Enjoy!
