Forces 03

Push and pull forces, such as magnetism or water resistance, are one of the main subjects studied in KS2 Science. This is the last in our set of of three quizzes looking at the different types, and the effects, of these push and pull forces, and it focusses on the forces at work in different situations.

You've learned about all the different forces which act on objects. Friction (which slows things down), gravity (which pulls things towards the Earth or other large body), magnetism (which attracts certain metals and repels opposite magnetic poles), air resistance and water resistance (which both drag on moving objects) - these are all different types of pushes and pulls. Now see if you can recognise which forces are in action in different situations.

Can you spot the forces at work? Is it magnetism or gravity, or could it be upthrust? Challenge yourself with this third and final science quiz about forces.
