Examples from ECLIPSE of what students have said relating to forces:
Bert's understanding of the reciprocal nature of forces
Do the forces from the outer shells push the protons and the neutrons together?
Iodine's got a larger force that lithium, so it will pull towards the lithium more
Gravity is a force which pulls things towards the centre of the earth
The force of lack of electrons pulls two hydrogen atoms together
The sharing-out of nuclear charge
This is just one of a wide range of science topics that learners have talked about in ECLIPSE projects.
