	If someone stands on your toes wearing stiletto heels, it is more painful than if they do so wearing wellies. The same force is applied over a smaller area. This also explains why it is important to lie on a ladder if you are rescuing someone trapped in a frozen pond. Your pressure on the ice will be less because your weight (force) will be spread over a larger area.

	Forces are big and strong
	Forces are power and energy.
	When it snows and it’s cold and there’s snow everywhere, you have to force your way through.
	I am not sure what force means but there’s an Air Force. It’s got a blue uniform. There’s also brute force.
