After today’s lesson, learners should be able to:
4.
WHAT IS AFORCE?
Forces are part of activities in our daily life.
We apply forces to objects around us.
A force can cause an
object to start moving,
stop or change its speed
and direction.
5.
PULL
A pull isa force that moves
something towards you or from
the opposite direction of the
force.
PUSH
A push is a force that moves
something away from you or
from the direction of the force.
But did youknow that a force can also
change the SHAPE or SIZE of an object?
A force can cause an object to start moving,
stop or change its speed and direction.
What can a force do to an object?
Have you ever seen or experienced objects
changing their shape and size?
16.
The grape changesshape
by squeezing.
Force applied to squeeze an
object
The grape moves to the left.
A single force applied to
push an object
Forces and Changes in Shape
17.
Forces and Changesin Shape
Caused by pushing forces
Compression
(decrease in length)
Caused by pulling forces
Stretching
(increase in length)
Caused by either pulling or
pushing forces
Bending
Compression, stretching and bending all rely on forces acting on an
object.
18.
Forces and Changesin Shape
Twisting
Twisting and pounding also rely on forces acting on an object.
Pounding
We squeezed theorange.
We crumpled the paper.
We compressed the plastic cup.
We pounded the egg shell.
We crushed the biscuit.
The orange becomes thinner.
The piece of paper was formed into a small
circular ball.
The plastic cup was flattened.
The egg shell was cracked into smaller pieces.
The biscuit breaks into smaller pieces.

design a bridge that can withstand strong winds.
How can you use your understanding of forces to
ensure the bridge remains stable and does not
collapse?
