Question 2
You want to teach your students the concept work and that work is the combination of force and movement. You have the students slide one of their books across their desks, you lift up your chair, and you blow on a piece of paper, so it flutters in front of you. You also push on your writing board to demonstrate that you're exerting a force, but no work is being done because the writing board doesn't move.
