Abstract	This booklet provides suggestions for student activities appropriate for introducing ideas about forces and their relationship to motion at the Form 1 to 4 level. The overall program is divided into five parts and is based on knowledge of views about force, friction, and gravity which children bring with them to science classrooms. An overview of the program is provided and, in separate sections, the aims and strategies are set forth, and student materials (worksheets, activity sheets, surveys, and others) for each individual part are presented. Students' views about force are determined in part 1. Momentum and momentum changes are investigated in part 2. "Pushes" and "pulls" are examined in part 3. Total force is studied in part 4. Part 5 investigates how some children's ideas have been modified by the learning experiences provided in the previous parts and provides opportunities, if necessary, for further remediation. (Scientists' answers to survey questions and a mathematics activity on force/momentum are found in appendices.) (JN)
