Make a copy of this document and save it in your Inquiry folder.

Slide 1:

Find the definition of what these forces are. Can you find two more examples of forces that exist in our world? List and explain them in the table below. Blog your findings with the WALT and a photo that demonstrates a force acting upon something.

WALT: Understand that forces are all around us and are a part of our everyday life

Force	Definition of the force	Example of the force
Gravity	Gravity means oxygen and what Gravity is a force of attraction that pulls together all matter anything you can physically touch.	Gravity is when is drop something    it will still be in the air.
Electromagnetism	An electromagnet is a magnet that runs on electricity.	We come in contact with electromagnetic radiation every day and there are examples visible everywhere.
Friction	Friction is the resistance to motion of one object moving relative to another. It is not a fundamental force, like gravity or electromagnetism.	A person sliding down a slide is an example of sliding friction.
Spring	The spring force is the force exerted by a compressed or stretched spring upon any object that is attached to it.	The force exerted by gravity on 1 kg = 9.8 N. The force exerted by gravity on 5 kg = ______ N.
Tension	the state of being stretched tight.	Tension is physical or mental strain, the force created by pulling something tight or a strain in a relationship. An example of tension is the feeling of working to meet an established deadline.
