 ELABORATION/EXTENSION

The shape of an object

changes when force is applied on
it. Pushing, pulling, pounding,
compressing, bending, twisting,
tearing, stretching or squeezing
are some ways of changing the
shape of an object.
Say: Jimmy is taller than his
brother. He used his
brother’s t-shirt without
asking permission. It partly
fits him. He stretched the
shirt down to his waist.
What do you think would
happen to the t-shirt?
