Enhance Your
Learning Lab!		This program begins with students defining "force" and identifying examples. The students then investigate different types of forces and ways that forces can act on matter. They next learn how to measure forces using spring scales and magnets. The students proceed to learn about gravity and buoyancy through simulated visits with Archimedes and Galileo and the three Laws of Motion with Newton. Learning about motion helps the students understand how forces are necessary to cause motion which can then be managed to accomplish work. The students learn about the definition of "work", formulate an equation for calculating work, and undertake activities to reinforce the definition of work while measuring the amount of work being accomplished. Many opportunities are presented to use mathematical and problem-solving skills.
