Test your understanding of push and pull forces by moving animals using monkey power. Investigate and then predict the effects of applying a force to move a range of objects of various mass. For example, select two monkeys to move a pelican, and predict whether they will move the pelican slowly, quickly or too fast.
Students apply a force to move an object that is at rest and identify the minimum force needed to move the object.
Students investigate the effect of applying a greater force to an object.
Students investigate the meaning of 'push' and 'pull' forces.
Students predict the outcome of applying a force to a range of objects of various mass.
Allows students to choose the force they want to apply to an object, and then to predict the results of applying that force.
Assesses student understanding of 'push' and 'pull' forces.
Includes a printable report detailing student achievement of learning outcomes and comparing student answers with correct answers for each question.
