Force Terminology

Here are the terms students will need to know in order to describe different forces in our new science unit. Please review these with your child and have them test different items at home to see which force applies. I suggest having your child go around your home using compression on various items (squeezing them) while saying the word "compression" at the same time to help them remember the term. Then, the next night, try another term and have them experiment while saying that term. It can be fun to say it in. The same silly way over and over and then use a different silly way for the next term as well. Have fun!
