Forces Causing Movement

Students will learn that there are several types of forces that cause movement. Forces cause objects to speed up, slow down, or change direction through contact or overall interaction at a distance. Forces in nature, such as high winds or water, can have significant impact on humans and the environment and need to be regarded with respect.
