In this science lesson, students learned about different types of forces—push, pull, and twist—and their everyday applications, such as opening doors, playing the piano, and moving objects. The lesson covered how forces can alter an object’s motion, speed, direction, and shape, and introduced the concept of friction (“frizzjoni” in Maltese), which plays a crucial role in many of these scenarios. A picture posed a question about the non-flat design of shoe soles and tires, leading into a discussion about why friction is essential.
