Curated OER
Motion and Forces
Unbalanced forces and the way that they create a movement is explained in this nice succinct collection of slides. There are a number of bullet points on these 5 slides, but the information is logical and easy to understand.
Curated OER
Force Diagrams
Seeming incomplete, this slide show introduces physical science novices to the balancing of forces and drawing force diagrams. The first seven slides work well to meet this purpose. The remaining slides, however, turn viewers over to...
