Push and Pull
How can we cause movement? This lesson uses activities that allow kids to study the basic ways objects can move, using examples of pushing and pulling. Children will notice that push and pull forces come into play when we are opening doors, pulling toy carts or pushing swings.
What to Expect From Student Learning?
What is a Push or Pull?
Remember that pushing pushes something distant while pulling moves things closer.
How movement takes place is also important to study.
See what happens when you or someone else interacts with objects, pushing or pulling them to influence their direction, speed or stopping.
Real-Life Examples:
Watch us use push and pull when working with doors, strollers, balls, drawers and similar things!
Strong Method and Clear Guidance:
Understand that more effort increases the speed or distance things travel.
There Are Fun Learning Activities Such As:
Classes can use simple toys and things from home as motion game elements.
Stations set up that allow students to push and pull objects of different sizes.
Grasping and calling out any you see as "push" or "pull".
A story using superheroes to solve problems.
Easy experiments to discover which surfaces an object moves best on.
