NGSS.MS-PS2-2

The pulling force applied to an object that stretches it.

• structure

• load

• compression

• tension

The squeezing force applied to an object that shortens or flattens it.

• structure

• load

• compression

• tension

How much a material is being pushed, pulled, or twisted. Think of a rubber band - when you stretch it, it feels tight and the ends get farther apart. This is like stress on a material.
