Talking Points
- What are forces? - "Forces are like invisible pushes and pulls that make things move or stop."
- How does gravity work in Minecraft? - "Gravity in Minecraft pulls objects down towards the ground, just like in real life."
- What is friction? - "Friction is like a force that tries to stop things from sliding or moving easily."
- Why do objects in Minecraft behave differently? - "Objects in Minecraft behave differently because of the forces like gravity and friction acting on them."
