Physics, especially the part about forces and motion, often feels like a maze of confusing concepts and formulas. If you’ve ever stared at a problem about an object moving or a force acting and ...

Fourth-grade students at Jackson Elementary School recently practiced measurement skills and developed an understanding of force and motion by conducting experiments in teams. Brian Hunt, from left, ...

Tugging a small toy with your dog can be a lot of fun—but it’s also a great way to experiment with forces acting on an object. Forces are what scientists call the pushing and pulling on objects. In ...

Why is pancake syrup an example of a resistive force? Some forces are called contact forces because they require objects to touch. One is tension force, found in stretched wires. Another is the force ...

Kurth Primary and Trout Elementary teachers were dodging Easter marshmallows when sixth-graders from Lufkin Middle School’s STEM prep classes came to present science experiments to second-graders ...

All of the objects in our solar system are acted upon by forces. Forces are pushes or pulls. Every force has both a strength and a direction. Applying a force on something–like pushing a toy car–can ...
