the different types of forces, and when the forces act upon objects. I learned how there are
different forces that act upon objects when they are accelerating and when they are at a constant
speed. I learned that the movement can determine whether there is a balanced force or an
unbalanced force. I learned about when each force acts upon each object and why the force acts
on the object.
The life skill I learned during this unit was that everything you do is involved with forces.
I learned that by Newton’s Third Law forces act in pairs. I learned that for every action there is
an opposite reaction. Whenever I see objects pushing on each other in daily life I will know that
there are forces that act on those objects. I will also know that whenever someone is walking or
sitting there are forces that act upon those people that cause them to be able to do those things.
Without forces you would not be able to do daily life activities. I now realize that forces
are very important for everyday life, and I will remember this in the future. When I see objects
interacting with each other I will know that forces have to affect those objects, so they can
interact. For example, when I play soccer I will realize that there are forces that act on me while I
run. The different forces that would act on me while I am running would be a normal force, a
frictional force, and a gravity force. There will be a normal force on me by the ground, there will
also be a gravity force on me by the earth, and lastly there will be a friction force acting on me
by the ground while I am changing directions or slowing down. This is the life skill that I learned
