- Title
"Knowing" Newton: How do forces move objects?
- Abstract
The article provides teaching strategies that will help science students in the U.S. understand the significance of forces in moving objects. The aim of the strategy is to let students describe force as a push or pull that either slows something down or speeds it up. It is divided into parts such as the proper explanation that forces can speed objects up, and that forces can slow objects down. The exploration of the two parts, as well as its procedure, discussions, and assessment are also discussed.
