GRADE 3 Unit 2: COMBINING FORCES

The Combining Forces Project helps third grade students understand that multiple forces (both visible and invisible) are pushing and pulling on us and all objects at all times. When forces are balanced, objects are at rest or balanced. When forces are unbalanced, objects move. Forces have an impact on us and the world, but we have our own force that we can use to have an impact on the world, also. We can use our force to create better balance in our family, classroom, community and the world. We can also use forces and balance in artwork to share who we are, what kind of force we want to be in the world and to make connections.
