Force and motion are all around us! A force is a push or a pull. When you push a toy car, you're using force to make it move. When you pull a wagon, that's force too! Forces can also change how fast something is moving. If you push harder on your toy car, it goes faster. If you gently slow it down, that's also force at work!
Think about kicking a ball. Your foot pushes the ball, making it move. If someone catches the ball, they pull it to stop it. The harder you kick, the faster the ball goes. That's changing the ball's speed!
