What makes objects move?

In this project kids build a pull-robot that can pull an object (bottle) to the recycling bin and 

- explore what forces are and how they can make objects move

-create and program a robot to investigate the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object

children always are impressed by machines that can pull heavy objects and want to investigate what makes objects move 

the students explore questions like:

- how can we make an object move?

-can we explain friction?

-predict what will happen if the pull force is greater in one direction than the other.
