At Wonder Pier, Maya and Ethan help inventor Mr. Oliver move a heavy parade cart—and discover that a force is a push or a pull with both strength and direction. Through carnival demos, they explore contact forces like muscular force and friction, then invisible forces at a distance: magnetic, gravitational, and electrostatic.

🔬 Science Element

A force is a push or a pull and is a vector quantity because it has magnitude (strength) and direction. Contact forces need physical contact (examples: muscular force and friction). Forces at a distance act without touching (examples: magnetic, gravitational, and electrostatic forces). Forces can start, stop, speed up, slow down, or change the direction of motion, and balanced forces cancel while unbalanced forces change motion.
