| 1 | If an object that can change shape has compressing or stretching forces acting on it, then it's shape will change |
| 2 | If an object that can change shape has inwards forces acting on it, then it will compress |
| 3 | If an object that can change shape has outwards forces acting on it, then it will stretch |
| 4 | Objects that are compressed will push outwards |
| 5 | Objects that are stretched will pull inwards |
