Forces and movement
We see things moving every day.
We see people walking, birds flying and leaves falling.
What makes things move?
Forces
A force can make something move.
A push is a force.
When we push, it moves people or things away from us.
A pull is a force too.
When we pull, it moves people or things towards us.
Movement
A small force causes a small movement and a big force causes a big movement.
When we use a small force to throw a ball, it does not go far.
When we use a big force, it goes a long way.
Also, it is easier to move a light thing than a heavy thing.
Speed
Speed is how fast things move.
Some things, like trains, move fast, and some things, like tortoises, move slowly.
A car is faster than a horse, a high-speed train is faster than a car, and a plane is the fastest of
A force can change the speed of things.
When you push a door with a small force, it opens slowly.
When you push it with a bigger force, it opens more quickly.
Next time you see something moving, ask yourself,
"What force is moving it, a push or a pull? "
"Is the force small or big?”

Two stubborn little goats
A long time ago, two brothers, Black Goat and Brown Goat, lived on East Mountain together.
One day, they saw a small piece of the greenest grass.
Brown Goat said,
“I'm older. I should eat the grass.”
Black Goat said,
“I'm smarter. I should eat it.”
They pushed each other for a long time and got tired.
Black Goat was angry and moved to West Mountain.
Every day, Brown Goat crossed a small bridge to drink the coldest water on West Mountain.
Every day, Black Goat crossed the bridge to eat the greenest grass on East Mountain.
One day, both goats were on the bridge at the same time.
Brown Goat said,
"Go back! I'm crossing first."
Black Goat said,
"You go back!"
They pushed each other with the same force.
They pushed until they both fell into the river below the bridge.
The goats got out of the river and walked home.
They were angry, tired and hungry.
And that was the story of the two stubborn little goats.
