Basic Concepts and Principles in

Elementary Science Education


Physics: Force, Motion, and Energy
Introduction to Physics in
Elementary Science
• Physics is the study of matter, energy, and the
forces that act upon them. In elementary
science, physics focuses on force, motion, and
energy, which help explain how things move
and interact in our world.
Force: Definition and Types
• • Force is a push or pull that makes objects
move, stop, or change direction.
• • Types of forces:
• - Contact Forces (e.g., friction, applied force)
• - Non-contact Forces (e.g., gravity,
magnetism)
Motion: Laws and Examples
• • Motion is the change in position of an object
over time.
• • Newton’s Laws of Motion:
• 1. Objects stay at rest or in motion unless a
force acts on them.
• 2. Force = mass × acceleration (F = ma).
• 3. Every action has an equal and opposite
reaction.
Relationship Between Force and
Motion
• • Forces cause objects to start moving, speed
up, slow down, or stop.
• • Greater force leads to greater motion.
• • Friction and air resistance can slow down
motion.
Energy: Types and Examples
• • Energy is the ability to do work or cause
change.
• • Types of Energy:
• - Kinetic Energy (energy of motion)
• - Potential Energy (stored energy)
• - Other forms: thermal, electrical, chemical,
sound, and light energy
Conservation of Energy
• • Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only
transformed.
• • Example: A roller coaster converts potential
energy into kinetic energy as it moves.
• • Everyday examples include using batteries,
solar panels, and wind turbines.
Real-Life Applications of Force,
Motion, and Energy
• • Riding a bicycle (force applied to pedals,
motion created)
• • Playing soccer (kicking the ball applies force,
making it move)
• • Using a swing (kinetic and potential energy
changes)
• • Cars and airplanes (forces like thrust and
drag affect motion)
Conclusion
• Physics is an important part of elementary
science education. Understanding force,
motion, and energy helps us explain how
things move and interact. These concepts
apply to everyday life, making science both
fun and useful!
