Force and Motion Lesson: Forces, Pushes, Pulls & Force Diagrams, Grades 6-8

What is a force, and how do you draw one? This lesson starts with a box on the floor and the question every student can answer: what would you have to do to make it move? From there students learn that a force is a push or a pull with a size and a direction, and that scientists measure it in newtons (N).
