What are the forces at work all around us? Students will take part in a simple activity to demonstrate the importance of Friction and grip, through the use of a force gauge/force meter to measure force in Newtons.
This is one of three modules investigating forces at work. We recommend completing this module, along with Drag and lift, followed by Bounce, to look at forces in more depth.
