Science: What Affects How Much Force We Need

Today in Science we talked about the different factors that affect how much force you need to move an object. We briefly reviewed yesterdays lesson on friction and brainstormed several other situations in which you might need more or less force.

We did an exploration as a class with what happens when you add things to a bag (the force you need goes up) and what happens when you increase the steepness of a slope (the force you need goes up). There is no homework for this section.
