🎮 Motion in Toys and Games
Explore how forces and motion apply to toys and games you play with every day! This quiz helps you understand why balls roll, tops spin, and cars slide down ramps. You'll learn to predict and explain the movement patterns of common toys. **What you'll learn:** - How pushing and pulling forces affect toy movement - Why some toys move faster or slower based on design - How ramps and slopes change how toys roll - Ways to predict how toys will move in different situations
