Introduction

You will plan and do a test to show and explain how pushes and pulls change where things are and how they move. A force is a push or a pull. Position means where an object is compared to something else, like a tape start line on the floor. Motion means an object is moving. A push or a pull can change an object's position. It can also change its motion.
