Force is a push or a pull on an object.

Force can make things move, stop, or change direction.

There are different types of forces, like gravity, friction, and magnetic force.

Gravity pulls things down to the ground, like when you drop a ball.

Friction slows things down, like when you slide on the floor with socks.

Magnetic force pulls or pushes things using magnets.

The harder you push or pull, the stronger the force.

If something is not moving, it means the forces are balanced.

If something starts moving, it means the forces are unbalanced.

You use force every day-like kicking a ball, opening a door, or riding a bike.
