Verse 1 “Aha!” cried Isaac Newton
When the apple hit his head!
“That certainly went down, not up!
I wonder why?” he said.
“Some force has made it fall to Earth
From up there in the tree!
I think it needs a name…..
I know, I’ll call it ‘GRAVITY’!”

Chorus Forces push and forces pull,
Speed things up or make them slow.
They can change the shape of something
And the way it wants to go!

Verse 2 Another force, called ‘UPTHRUST’
Is a must if you’re a boat!
It’s there in water, pushing up
So you don’t sink, you float!
And ‘AIR RESISTANCE’ slows a falling object –
Fancy that!
A parachute, for instance;
It’ll stop you going SPLAT!

Chorus Forces push and forces pull……

Verse 3 Well ‘FRICTION’ is another force;
It helps you get a grip!
Without it you would lose your footing
And begin to slip!
Then every moving thing would start
To slide, continually,
Until it reached the lowest point,
Wherever that might be!

Chorus Forces push and forces pull……

Repeat Chorus
