🎯 Predicting and Observing Motion
Learn how forces like pushes and pulls make objects move in different ways. This quiz helps you predict what will happen when you apply a force to an object, observe the results, and understand why the same force affects different objects differently. **What you'll learn:** - How to predict the direction and distance an object will move - Why larger forces cause greater motion - How to record observations about moving objects - That different objects respond differently to the same force
