Forces are what make things move, stop, or change direction. Motion is simply the act of moving! Everything around us is affected by forces, even if we don't always see them. Pushing, pulling, gravity, and friction are all different types of forces. Understanding forces and motion helps us understand how the world works! Let's dive in and explore!
